My Feet Are Large, But Not as Large as Matt Bettencourt's

I have large feet by most standards, and it's pretty difficult to find size 13 shoes that fit all of the following criteria:

1) Reasonably inexpensive - less that 65 bucks for running shoes, with another Jackson thrown in for a good pair of baksetball shoes
2) The right brand - I would love it if I could buy a pair of Spaldings (and so would Hakeem), but I've worn cheap basketball shoes before and they literally start falling apart after a few months.*
3) Not extremely ugly - Sure, I could buy this sweet pair, or even this one. They might be illegal though.

So I went ahead and tried on a pair of "Nike Air Zoom Huarache Elite TB" shoes (that's quite a catchy name) at the store and they were way too comfortable, so I went home and ordered the color that I wanted online for 99 bucks. That base price edges out my 1991 Jordans and a pair of brown dress shoes my parents bought me in 2003 for the record of "Most Money Paid for a Pair of My Shoes."

I have paid 110 dollars for socks though.



*By the way, I would love to have a conversation with anyone about Nike's labor practices and price-gouging; I wouldn't buy a pair of their shoes if I felt that their business practices were wrong, and maybe I'm actually turning a blind eye here. Let me know if you think that's the case. I'd love to hear your opinion on this.
