As a young kid I worked in dad's garden during the heat of the summer, often barefoot. I think between the rich soil and cow manure, my feet grew a few extra sizes because of it. I wore a size 12 by age 13. IIRC, started wearing sneakers in the garden after that and my feet stopped growing at size 13.
Remember PF Flyers High Tops (pic8.co) from the 1960s-early 1970s?
Recognize but never wore. Whites have bigger feet overall don't they?
IDK. I was never a shoe salesman or looked at peoples feet much. My school was virtually all white, one black kid a couple years behind me. 99% of the whites I went to school with had smaller feet than me, a couple wore size 12s or 13s too. I worked with a 6'7" engineer years ago that wore size 15s.
There are some black pro basketball players with gigantic feet ...
