I think the $12,000 gofundme will help, and if he wears out one pair every 6 months Shaq set him up for 6 years. He’ll be 22. If he can’t buy shoes by then it’s not anyone’s problem but his.
I found some size 23 shoes for sale locally. $600/pair. Absolutely no one but his own fault if he can't afford those when he's 22 especially in today's booming economy.
It’s always capitalism’s fault.
Might not be an issue. My feet stopped growing at about age 16.
It's not back to square one, though: they've got an in with Shaqa Claus now. They ask for some 24s, they're gonna get some 24s.
Ya Shaq should have gone and cut his toes off so he can fit in regular shoes.
