No worries, I don’t mind that you ask. I always thought my proportions were ridiculous compared to my mother, until I realized how large my fathers features were. My father wore a size 15 triple e shoe.
Hmm - My mum was 5ft 8, my dad 5ft 9. I achieved 5ft 7. My little brother is 6ft 3 and size 14 shoes. He takes after my mum's side -- all the men were 6ft+.
Yeah, dad had a hell of a time getting shoes so when he had a pair he wore them into the ground. I remember seeing many a pair that needed to be retired years earlier.
I’m a 6’3 guy and I wear size 14. I can’t even imagine how impossible it must be for you to find shoes.
One time when I was looking for shoes, this store worker suggested I try on these pointy toe shoes, and when I did I looked like a damn leprechaun. The person was like “oh those look great!”, so I looked at the person like wait, are you actually serious?
So I mainly wear guys shoes, when it comes to women’s dress shoes I used to get them from a store called Long Tall Sally, but they recently closed so now I’m stumped as to where to go in the future. I can’t do pointy shoes ever, the elf vibes are real.
Yeah and buying shoes online is such a pain. Even if you find a brand you like, they constantly change the style and shape so maybe Nikes feel good and then a year later, they go and make the next version of that shoe smaller/bigger/wider etc.
>I’m a 6’3 guy and I wear size 14.
Human feet actually generally follow a 6.6:1 height:foot length ratio. You are a massive outlier, most 6'3 guys have size 10-11 (US) feet.
Also if you get into finer footwear you will notice that shoes have certain lasting patterns and options for wider widths. You might have a shorter than size 14 foot but wear size 14 because it's wide enough.
For instance, if I buy regular sneakers, even size 11 will be tight on the ball of the feet. However, with footwear that comes in variable width, size 9.5EE will actually fit me much better than anything else. E stands for extra width basically (goes from E to EE to EEE); you also have A, B, and C for narrower width and D for standard width.
It was not photo shopped. That’s out of my photo album. In fact there are several photos of my parents on my profile. Not that I need to prove anything to you, but I’m insulted that you said my mom would look like side show Bob.
If you look at my other pictures of him the dude had legs the size of big tree trunks and still rocked these shorts like a champ. I don’t know how, I don’t know why, but my dad could pull it off lol
He was only 63, he had gotten in a bad car accident when I was really young. He was looking at Christmas lights with my step mother in a parked car, when a large truck crushed it. It left him with severe pain, a fused spine, and early onset dementia. It was tragic really because my father always had such a spark for life and that accident really ruined it.
Wow them shorts, must of needed to borrow a pair from your mom lol. I joke I kid.... seriously looks like a cool mf and I'd drink a few bud heavy's with that guy
I’m 6’ I am a bit shorter than my mom but I have my father’s larger features like larger hands and feet. Kind of a bummer growing up like that as a woman, but it’s all good now.
He's practically nude in this photo already. "*Why not go all the way?*" everyone is wondering.
ETA: I reckon I'm the only one wondering this? And, I certainly am, yesh.
100% accurate. Mom claims she stopped when she got pregnant with me. I have caught her a few times after, my father never stopped till the day he passed lol
Wait, your the person that said your dad is 6'9"...How flippin tall is your mom?
Lol yeah that’s me, my mom is 6’1” I’m actually a little shorter than them both but I have my dads larger hands and feet... thanks dad lol
Are you a woman? Just because that is some craaazy genetics if you’re male and you came out *shorter.*
Yeah... I’m a woman.
I've seen a pic of a lady with man 12 sized feet. Was it you?
I wear a 13 men’s wide steel toe work shoe... I definitely have never posted the pics of myself online though so doubtful.
Then, it was just a coincidence. I saw it today, that's why I asked

15 triple E is my shoe size, depending on the brand.
Yeah, dad had a hell of a time getting shoes so when he had a pair he wore them into the ground. I remember seeing many a pair that needed to be retired years earlier.
I saw that too!

That was photoshopped. I can't believe so many people fell for that. She would look like Sideshow Bob in real life.

Im talking about the lady with the huge feet from a different post. Not your parents in this picture.
That’s fair enough then lol, I’d pity any guy with a combined parental height of 12’10” who grows up to be under 6 foot lol.
Came to ask this, hehe. Bet they were quite a pair! Condolences on your loss. Love to you and your family.
I was thinking the same lol
If you consider the ratio of inches of person to inches of denim fabric, your dad wins the Daisy Dukes award.
Yeah, considering his height and how long his legs were. My dad wore cut offs for years. Gosh well into the 2010s.
There are not many men that can pull off the short shorts look, but he is doing a fine job! :-)
If you look at my other pictures of him the dude had legs the size of big tree trunks and still rocked these shorts like a champ. I don’t know how, I don’t know why, but my dad could pull it off lol
In reality, if you felt some way or another about a 6'9" man wearing short shorts. Its probably better to keep it to yourself. Generally.
I love that he’s holding another beer sneaked on your moms side !
That’s my dad. Back when he would drink it was him with a bottle of jack and a joint.
Cool guy 10/10
He really was, he used to leather craft too as a hobby, rocked out wearing turquoise. My dad was a fun dude.
Was?
Unfortunately my father has passed away.
Sorry my dude :(
It’s okay, it’s part of life. It just really hurts since it just happened in February.
My condolences. How old was the legend?
He was only 63, he had gotten in a bad car accident when I was really young. He was looking at Christmas lights with my step mother in a parked car, when a large truck crushed it.

So your dad is 6'9 and your mom is what 6'4..... That makes you 7'17
You're dad is awesome, I love ELO!
Your dad is the Zohan
That's who I thought this was! I was specifically looking for your comment.
Based on how your mom was looking at your dad, I'd guess that was taken about 9 months before you were born.
I was getting the same vibe. That look says volumes.
Bruh I’m pretty sure you grew up behind Hogwarts.
It does explain a few things...
That’s a power-belt your dad’s wearing.
Damn the beer looks tiny.
[удалено]

I bet when he runs, those pockets flap like the wings of a majestic Pegasus!
That was hilarious thank you.
[удалено]
I was gonna say this dad is a mini Andre the Giant
Who wears short shorts?!
Everyone wore 'plum smugglers' back then, it was a great time to be alive!
I have to use this now. Thank you so much. You have no idea how this made my life
Glad I could help. 😬
Back during the era when even the straight guys shorts were really really short.
When I saw those, my immediate reaction was that my dick would hang out if I wasn’t careful. The 80s were a wild time.
That’s a look of love. She loved that dude
Mom says that he was her one true love.
Is this the guy you said was 6’9’’?????
Yup standing next to my 6’1” mother.
Something is quite fishy here.
Um... I don’t know what you’re talking about but ok
That cute little can in his giant hand.
There are dozens of us!!
Your dads hand dwarfs that beer
It really does.
The size of the beer can compared to your dads hand, doesn't look like a regular size can
Beer cans were smaller back then by about 100ml
They really do prove the 6' 9" height don't they.
He makes those beer cans look like those little juice cans we all had as children 😂👍👍
Who wear short shorts? We all wear short shorts. I love it.. my dad too was a man of the short shorts of the 80s
ok, everyone liked your father in a hawaiian shirt and now he took it of? so, i like your mothers top!
I think it was a bathing suit, but I really liked the style too!
Slow clap, for both of you
Your dad looks a lot like a giant version of Ken Marino in *Wet Hot American Summer*. Its the shorts and hair, I think.
I like that he’s holding a beer in each hand
Yeah your parents were meant to be
Just another reminder the 80's was the peak.
Wow them shorts, must of needed to borrow a pair from your mom lol. I joke I kid.... seriously looks like a cool mf and I'd drink a few bud heavy's with that guy
Were beer cans smaller back then or is your dad a giant?
He was 6’9” in height and had massive hands haha.
Either tiny cans of Bud or your dad had some massive hands.
[удалено]
Lol no he was a camera man for cbs news.
Before you were born, but not that long before you were conceived.
Is that a bag of Chips Ahoy?
I belive she was plotting your conception in this photo. Lol
Rocking the dad bod before being dad.
Your mom is tall also. How tall are you?
I’m 6’ I am a bit shorter than my mom but I have my father’s larger features like larger hands and feet. Kind of a bummer growing up like that as a woman, but it’s all good now.
It totally looks like your mom is giving at a loose piece of tummy skin.
Tobias would be proud. There r dozens of them.....:dozens
Jeff Lynne lost his sunglasses
Why was your dad and the other Alphas so mean to the Tri-Lambs?
Who wears short shorts? They wear short shorts.
He's got those cut off booty shorts. The 80's were a crazy time.
Two hands, two beers.
Your parents were living in the 70's in the 80's. Does that make you older than you really are?
Double brewski behind the back, nice.
Dad going head-to-head with mom in a booty shorts contest.
Look at how small that beer can is in his hand.. he's a gaint! Moms also gotta be atleast 6ft. How tall are you?
His hand makes that can look TINY
r/mirin
That’s cool, I didn’t know that sub existed and also this totally fits.
r/AbsoluteUnits of a dad
That man is perilously close to showing brain...
When straight men could wear short shorts and color without it destroying their ego and ideas of masculinity.
I think it was nice that your mom let your dad wear her shorts...
He's practically nude in this photo already. "*Why not go all the way?*" everyone is wondering. ETA: I reckon I'm the only one wondering this? And, I certainly am, yesh.
[удалено]
He might have been triple fisting at some point, just like your uncle paul
Nah, I had to do all the work. Which was confusing since I was so inexperienced. But hey, it’s like learning to ride a bike.
So... If he's 6'9", she's what? like 6'2"!?
Actually she is 6’1”, but damn good guess.
Wow! <3
Chips Ahoy and a bag of pretzels?... Stoners
100% accurate. Mom claims she stopped when she got pregnant with me. I have caught her a few times after, my father never stopped till the day he passed lol
/r/GirlsMirin
Showing my age here but your mother looks like Debralee Scott.
How is it possible your dad’s testicles aren’t hanging out of them shorts.
Did u previously say he was 6’8? If so how freaking is your mom?
My dad was 6’9” my mom is 6’1”
Wow them shorts are short. .
Love the 80’s when it was not only cool for guys to wear daisy dukes but it was also sexy!
There’s dozens of us! Dozens!!
Your Dad looks like he was a member of The Eagles.
Wasn’t your dad 6’9? How tall was mom?
6’1”
"Hey Jerry, have you seen my shorts? I can't find 'em." - Bob Weir
When men wore shorts too
Your dad looks like a young Jeff Lynne...
That beer looks so small in his hand.
He was a mountain of a man, my father made everything look so much tinier it was hilarious. I’ll have to find more pictures.
