YDC: Ian Karmel lost a bunch of weight over the last year and in doing so also went down a full shoe size. He is a big sneaker collector and now

has a lot of sneakers that no longer fit him.

If you happen to be a size 13 he's going to have a lot of sneakers for sale.

Sadly, this means another size 12 has entered the competition against me for sneakers. :-)

I'm happy for him in losing the weight.

This happened with one of the biggest sneaker collectors in the world. Guy had thousands and thousands of pairs that no longer fit him after he lost a lot of weight. Had to sell his entire collection. Crazy.

LYC: I bought my first pair of non-dress / non-sneaker shoes I think in about forever -- (link) - oblique Jun 1, 06:55 3
- Nice. These are just for walking around and everyday things? -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 1, 07:01 2
  - More like "date night" casual. My work shoes are hiking boots and I rarely wear my suit for the dress shoes so this will fill in the gap -- nm - oblique Jun 1, 07:04 1
    - *nods* Those should work nicely. Definitely check out Vans next. If you're feeling fun you can make a custom pair on their website. - Krusty Jun 1, 07:06
Wait, people wear the $$$ shoes? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 1, 06:36 4
- The Young Bucks certainly do. -- nm - David Jun 1, 08:25
- I wear all of my sneakers as do many others. It's the young people that are in it for the money and not the love of the sneakers. - Krusty Jun 1, 06:50
- Right? My thought was this is a convenient time to cash in all his shoes into an actual asset with value. -- nm - MDH Jun 1, 06:47 1
  - He's not into sneakers for their value. He genuinely loves sneakers. There hasn't been a better time to sell sneakers so he's getting lucky with his - Krusty Jun 1, 06:52
Not a collector but gravity and gout took me from a 13 to a 15 - Reagen Jun 1, 06:36 8
- Yeesh. They just don't make many sneakers in your size. It must be frustrating. -- nm - Krusty Jun 1, 06:48 7
  - It's way better than it was 10-15 years ago. - Reagen Jun 1, 06:54 6
    - I'm also a 15. It stinks. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 1, 07:48 1
      - change your socks? -- nm - mud Jun 1, 07:58
    - I remember my brother having to get custom made sneakers/shoes because of a lack of options back in the day. He's a size 16. - Krusty Jun 1, 07:05 3
      - Actual NBA players must have sizes that big (and more). What do they wear? Custom? -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 08:03 2
        
        Yes, custom made sneakers. Their sneakers are made on a level we could only wish for. Their feet are scanned and the shoes are made to fit each - Krusty Jun 1, 08:10 1
        
        Damn. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 08:17
