Metric is better than English measurement but this is America. Whutumeye gonna do? And don't get me started on shoe sizes! I wear size 12 American. It's the biggest size you can get and still buy shoes in a regular store. Giant men on this site taller than I am have to buy shoes specially made at high cost. Extremely short people merely have to purchase children's shoes. It's a real money saver for them.

Special orthopedic shoes for giant men can run up to $15,000 as of 2012.
