    where does jordan get his shoes from?

    michael jordan that is..

    actually his feet arn't big enough (just googled them) - US13.5..

    im a UK 14/US 15 (approx 50 eu), and find getting shoes really hard. i like skatery shoes, vans/dcs/airwalks etc, but theres next to nowt around. googles crap - afaik there are 2 online shops that do trainers in this country (last time i looked) but wondered if any of you knew other sources? The vans designer outlet in bridgend is my hero..

    Any help guys (or girls, but im guessing guys)?

    incidentally, high and mighty dont do trianers, only 'smart' shoes..

    Hugh

    ps. rofl - i googled 'shoe size conversion charts' to check my eu size - hit 'im feeling lucky' and got this -> http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes-anatomy.html

    its pretty funny if you read thru it

    I heard that those basketball players get them specially made by Nike etc (whoever happens to sponsor them) - perhaps you could contact Nike / reebok etc and see if they can make you some?

    I'm a size 13 and also struggle to find trainers, chap.

    I've actually been wearing the same pair of trainers for coming upto 3 years, now... really can't be bothered with the disappointment of finding a pair that I love, then being told they only go upto size 12.

    just go to somewhere like Shue mate, i got some Vans Rowley XL2's in a 12, and i think they go even bigger. according to that table, i got a 10" dick, which is innacurate, as i'm much bigger

    America!

    It's very, very easy to get large trainers (sneakers) over here.
