Shoes or Canoes?

I believe I have mentioned that my brother E is tall and lanky. 

Well track season is upon us and E needs new track shoes.

Well they showed up and I'm not sure if they are shoes or canoes!

By the picture you can tell they are a nice new pair of neon Nikes.

And in that picture they look fairly normal in size on my feet.. but...

Then you get to this angle and well on my petite 7.5 foot and scrawny ankle they look...well abnormal! I used a tape measure to measure them. They are about a foot long...

E took my razzing well, he actually told me I would be more efficient using these shoes as flippers while swimming rather than trying to walk in them. :) 

Oh I am so entertained by E and his big feet! 

Blessings!
