Yeah! I used to live near a guy who would wear his trainers till they looked slightly used and then give them away.Luckily he was the same size as me so I got a lovely pair of white Adidas shell toes. Some other ones that I've worn out now as well.

I mean obviously you're sure of your own size, but still- are you sure? You didn't look anything close to that when we met. I know you're a lot taller than me (don't rub it in :( ) which ups the size, but in general width etc, not an 18 at all
