Lemme axe you this: would his shoes look like clown kicks if he stuck with the size 11's or is his true size 7 more proportionate to his frame?
He must be one of those munchkins that assumes women correlate shoe size with endowment factor (which isn't true by any means; for instance, i'm five foot twelve, 220 and quite frankly, haven't had much change since elementary school).

Was just being facetious about the latter half of my comment (or was I?), But ultimately what one is saying is, ego = overrated.
