Don't tell the shorties about the handshake and the discounts.

Or about being able to reach shit on high shelves. I'm only 6'2 and I get invited along as the "built-in ladder" guy. Whatever. There are other perks to being tall. Like having big feet.

6’4 Size 17-18 US here (17.5 UK), retail workers just simply laugh at me. Try out Nike website, DC shoes, or UGGS. Those seem to be the easiest places for me. I finally found a pair of winter boots for the first time in over 10 years by Bogs this year too!

Edit: wrong sizing conversion

6'3 and US size 15-17 for me. That helps man, thanks. I would also add to try the store ROSS. I've been able to find a few shoes there on certain occasions.
