What is it with teenage boys and wearing shoes that are too big for them? /u/K-Pumper No such thing as stupid questions

I work as a ski boot fitter and have noticed that men, especially teenage boys, love wearing shoes that are too big for them. We usually measure a persons feet and then put them in a boot based on their size. Girls are easy, they usually go with what you tell them is right.

Men always complain that their boot is too small and they need something bigger. I had a 13 year old boy insist one time he was a size 13 despite his foot being measured as a size 10. No matter what I did he wouldn’t accept that he was a size 10 and insisted I give him the 13. His family agreed so I just gave it to him.

A few days later they called back saying his boots were too big and tried to get their money back
