As a 5'6 man with a girlfriend who is 5'7, anyone insecure enough to buy these shoes needs to start looking at their priorities in life. Just be you, own it man!

My best buddy is about 5'4" and a bit round too, but I have never sensed for an instant that he feels hampered by or insecure about it. He's a smart guy and happy with himself. He has my admiration, as do you.

It bugged me more when I was younger, but its such a petty thing to be worried about.

Also as a rounder gentleman, Id much rather continue to lose weight and get in shape than worry that I'm kinda short.
