Attn: Any men with size 11.5-12 feet...I need your foot length!
This is for a sock knitting project, for someone who refuses to measure his feet and who lives a ways away from me.

I just need to know your heel to toe foot length, barefoot. Measure on the inside edge.

Please, I need to finish these damn socks, so I can start the pair for the wonderful DUer Debi, who graciously measured her feet for me. And who's yarn is much prettier to look at. :D

Thanks! :hi:

Ps- PM me of you don't want to disclose it here. :D

2. You don't understand
bi_baby posting about feet is as good as — or better than — any possible copycat. :D

23. Wait a minute..
My feet are ten inches, and I wear a woman's 9 1/2. That's a lot smaller than a man's size 12.

Yeah, I know I have Neanderthal feet. That's why I stick to Birkies.

16. See now, those kind of things can drag a poor Irish lass down
the path to damnation. Thank God you aren't writing any maudlin poetry, or I would be a goner;)

10. This is what I don't understand...I wear a 6.5-7 women's
and according to all charts, my feet should be between 9-9.25 inches. My feet are 8.5 and 8.75 inches, respectively.

Which is why I don't trust charts. They're all different, and I have yet to find one that my feet match up with.

Grrrr, knitting socks for people that aren't here sucks! x(
