Photos of Secretary of State Marco Rubio wearing what appear to be comically oversized dress shoes are going viral.
As Rubio leaned over to say something to a man at the Capitol Visitor Center on Wednesday, a photographer caught an unfortunate angle on his Florsheim shoe.
The rumor, fueled by a recent report that President Donald Trump enjoys publicly guessing aides shoe sizes before ordering them his preferred brand, has led commentators to joke that the ill-fitting shoes look less like a fashion choice and more like a loyalty test.
If the shoe doesnt fit, wear it anyway
Images of the ill-fitting footwear started spreading online in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Close-ups show the back of one shoe coming far off Rubios heel in a way that you only tend to see on kids wearing big siblings hand-me-downs.

(5,194 posts)It's probably also because in 2016 Marco made fun of Donald's small hands....
Trump is insinuating that Marco has small feet.

(21,040 posts)Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, JD Vance, the vice-president and Pete Hegseth, the secretary of war, have all received a pair of Florsheim shoes in recent months. Others presented with the brands classic lace-ups include the Fox News host Sean Hannity, the senator Lindsey Graham and the Maga celebrity Tucker Carlson.
snip=======================
[Trump] goes out and grabs a catalogue. There happens to be another politician in the room and he actually runs us through this incredible shoe catalogue. The president is gifting us with four pairs of shoes.
He says, Marco, whats your shoe size? And Marcos apparently an 11 and a half. He says, JD, whats your shoe size? My shoe size is 13.
And he asks this politician, who I wont embarrass, what his shoe size is, and he says, seven. The president, he kind of leans back in his chair and says, You know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.
