My #2 son wears size 14. Had to order all the way from the US to get
slippers to fit him. (Rochester NY I believe)
Wife bought two pairs for Christmas but he's already wearing one.


My daughter's oldest son wears a size 13 right now. He's 12 years
old.
Tall and lanky type.

Be thankful it is now and not 25 years ago. I wear sz 14 and they used
to
charge extra for anything 13 and larger and limited selection. Now lots
of large sizes available. Send your daughter to Big 5 Sports for tennis
shoes. They have lots of closeouts of 13 and larger.

That's where we still are..hard to get the big sizes..... I guess with
under
1 million people in the entire province, the market isn't big enough.
The internet sure comes in handy in finding clothes/hats/footware for big
uns'.


LL Bean often carries 14's and sometimes 15's in their shoes.

They inserted a flyer/catalogue in todays local newspaper.
I'd like to get a few 'Chamois Cloth Shirts', but that $40 US price inflated
by over 50% when duty, exchange rate, HST etc are added on.
They do have free shipping right now that helps a bit. (expires Jan 01)
