Why the tiny feet?

Why are almost all shoes and boots for men in SL a tiny size zero. Makes a big man's feet look so tiny and out of proportion. Besides, there is an old saying that men with tiny feet have a tiny ahhh....member

I'm looking for boots in size huge to fit a 50 or 60 foot which is in proportion to a large size avie.

The only ones that I have found so far are Old Boots at Shiny Things which come with size huge. Everything by other vendors seems made for dainty little fellows.

We ladies are in the same boat. Some shops, like Shiny Things and Lassitude & Ennui, do offer larger sizes in addition to size 0. But they're the exception and not the norm.

Because it makes it easier to hide the mesh foot inside the prim shoe; it is, after all, the size of the prims you see, not whatever number the slider happens to be set to.

No! The saying is that men with tiny hands have tiny . . .














. . . gloves.
