I am about 6' 3", 210 lbs and wear a size 15 shoe and am completing my 33rd year in education. Last year during an afternoon kindergarden class I was sitting in the bleachers watching the students jump rope, use scooters, hoops and balls.

A student (who is pretty good size himself) came up to join me. Curiously, instead of watching the action on the floor, he looked down at my black Nike basketball shoes. He then looked over to his shoes (as if to compare shoes). A few minutes later he again looked at my shoes, scratched his head, looked at his shoes again and then tapped me on the shoulder and said "Mr. D you have a large foot, bigger than mine, but that's OK cause you're a teenager".
