As I walked to the High earlier tonight, I thought about shoes.
I'm comfortable in shoes between size 12-1/2 and size 13. If forced, I can stand a 12. Tonight, I went to Homecoming wearing size 11 shoes. After about 20 minutes, I realized that I couldn't effectively move in those shoes, so I walked back home and changed into my normal clown shoes.
The average men's shoe size today is 9-1/2 (based on data available in 2002). Compared to the average shoe, I imagine my shoes as the pads which water bugs use to skate over the surface of water. My weight is distributed over such a wide area that I cannot break water's surface tension.
