Holy Spinal Tap, Batman!

by Smitty Tom Boddingham ordered a pair of custom novelty slippers off website Monster Slippers. Tom, who’s 6’7″ and possibly the son of a Yeti, ordered a size 14.50 for his left foot and 13 for his right because DAMN BRO YOUR FEET ARE A SIZE-AND-A-HALF APART?! Mine are only 1/2, freak!
