Why Guys are wearing shoes 10 sizes too big! is it a thing?

[Anonymous]

I can not get over this. Wherever I go I see young guys wearing shoes that look like they MUST be at least 4 inches longer then their feet. It is really funny, I can not imagine how then can walk and not trip over? It looks not only like some sort of overcompensation for something but it clearly must be a health hazard. What is with this thing, when did it became so popular.
Come one, who are you kidding? I see a guy that is like 5 feet 3 inches and he is wearing as shoe that seem like size 12.
It is like a plague. I assume the shoe sellers could not push the larger sizes so they started the fad?
I don't know, I have seen many trends, some healthier then others but this is insane. It truly is a health hazard. Is it some sort of fashion statement or is it an attempt to impress someone with the length of the foot that appears to have a medical condition.

Er, no, I think they are wearing shoes that fit. What's wrong with you, making fun of people's feet?

The longer shoes make guys look shorter don't they? Do they know?

I’ve never seen this. Are these dress shoes or sneakers? Do you have a picture? I don’t see how they could walk.

start looking down my friend. Clearly you have no idea..
And no, no not the fun, an observation and no not the people's feet, but the phenomenon that has a potential to hurt.

Casual / formal shoes with office dress type of clothing as this is most obvious in this type of shoes.

Without showing the full person this is just an idea, in reality imagine this kind of foot not on a towering guy but on a 5' guy, and you can bet that his toes end where the horizontal line connecting the top is Not a tad further.

Oh yeah I’ve seen this. It’s a European style where the shoe tapers to a point, and toes aren’t shaped that way, so the point is a couple inches longer than the foot. It’s not like men who wear a size 10 are buying a size 13. The shoe is styled that way for a size 10.

Ok, so pointed shoes? That’s not the same as shoes that are too big.

This looks like an appropriately sized shoe. You sound oddly fixated on men’s footwear.

How is this any different from, say, women’s pointed toe flats?

It’s not.

Height and shoe size aren't always a direct correlation.

If they are dragging their toes they may be to big but other than flip flops/sandals how can you really tell?

I am 6’3 and my wear a 13. Good friend is 5’10 and wears and 15.5.

After size 12, men's shoes are not offered in the 1/2 sizes. So, if your foot is bigger than a size 12, you have to go to a size 13. Sees crazy to me

The toes are pointed, that is all.
