Think you have a shoe fit problem? Try going from 12A to 13/14 A. I need to shop in a ski shop. I think they have gotten longer as my arches have fallen

They say your feet lose their elasticity as you age and that's why they seem to grow. At least yours didn't get any wider, I was a D and now I'm a EEE! I wish something else would get bigger instead of my damn feet.....

Gravity is not our friend Destry. Anyone that recalls the strip tease scene in Bad Grandpa can attest to that. LoL. Stupid movie but I laughed until I cried when grandpa did the strip tease part.
Now back to the shoes.

Do you have a follow up on the woobies after almost a year? How have they held up?

I just got in a pair. Overall I am happy with them so far. Are you sure they are supposed to be US made? There is no tagging at all on the shoes about where they are made.

Yeah I really like mine, I wear them pretty regularly.

I noticed that too, it did seem strange. But Veteran Made in Texas is all over their website.

FWIW, my brother has had growing feet and hands for many years now. He's in his 60s. They found that he had a growth on his pituitary gland which was causing growth hormones to be released into his body at a much higher than normal rate, causing the feet and hands to grow excessively. They recently removed the growth and has body is now returning to normal. He said he feels better than he has in many years, and that the doctors say there is a very good chance that his feet and hands will slowly "retract" to their normal size, before the growth hormones caused them to grow so much.

For those who are experiencing such growth it may be worth talking to your doctor about. I'm 71 years old and mine are not growing at all, and are the same size they were when I was 25.

I bought a pair of the grey high tops. My biggest complaint is the grey shows dirt really bad. So they always look dusty.
Unfortunately my understanding is they are now made in Spain. This is better than China.

Stan, there are many high top models on the website. Also, the different sizes are shown when you click on the ARROW. I am disappointed to hear that they are not made in the USA. Phil, the site says "Made in USA". No mention of Spain. Back to the website for more information.

Mine were made in Spain. Possibly others are now being made in the USA.
That said they are high tops and are comfortable and well made.
The color I ordered was Cemento. I should have ordered Kaki.
Here is the CEO talking about the move. When I ordered they were made in Spain.
I hope they have now found a US company.

How are they sized? I usually have to order a size up from dress shoes when I buy anything like this.
