BREAKING: Donald Trump has reportedly been buying the people in his inner circle, new shoes, and people are âafraid not to wear them.â So, finally after Marco Rubio worked up the courage to tell Trump that the 5 Florsheim shoes, didn't fit - the President immediately bought them all new shoes.

Yes. He wears them.

The footwear in question comes from Florsheim, a firm founded in Chicago in 1892 whose catalogue of dress shoes has become a presidential obsession. Many pairs retail for about $145 modest by the standards of a man better known for Brioni suits and long red ties.
Trump, now 79, reportedly began searching last year for something more comfortable to wear through long days in office. Having settled on Florsheims, he began ordering pairs for others as well. According to the White House, he pays for the shoes personally.
