Being 205cm (6'9"), yeah what kinda problem is that? Now let me go tend to the bump on my head from running into a doorframe again

Fuck that, how expensive are your shoes?

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's fine I only have a 47 (13.5) so I can still buy them in regular stores. usually around 50€ if it is everyday wear1

I'm at 13 and have a hard time with availability in stores sometimes. I'm so glad they didn't get any bigger than that.

P.S. thanks for the translation.

Once you know what brand you like, you can usually get them online pretty easily. That's what I do most of the time nowadays

13 too, I usually go with the Ecco brand. Last forever and the shops usually have a few models in stock that aren't Runners.

At a mere 6'5" over here, how do these examples make you feel?

Bus seat, airplane seat, powered car seat, Toyota RAV4.
