having size 18 feet means never having gotten to appreciate rental shoes, skates, and ski boots.

Expensive fittings as a size US mens 17. I feel your pain.

The worst is all the online sites that advertise cool looking shoes to me constantly that max out at a size 13 and I'm like, nope, never for me.

my feet came of age in the 1970's- long before there was an internet for buying shoes. living in sub-urban chicago, there were a few "king-size" type stores with pricey but butt-ugly shoes to choose from.

i mostly wore chuck taylor all-stars all-thru high school.

I've had precisely one pair of owned snowboard boots that I would actually call "comfortable." The rest were between "bearable" and "actually not that bad."

Of course I apparently left them in the parking lot on the mountain last year 😕

I tried rental ski boots several several times as a youth. They were so comfortable, I would rather downhill ski on my bare hands. I only wear a mens 9 now, though theyve always been very wide. I have owned roller blades that fit just fine. Ski boots are the devil.
