    billyd3us Thanks All my Friends

    The only mention of Danny Boy Oconnor sneakers I found was he did alot and ventured into making clothing and sneakers. I cannot find any sneakers by him anywhere, any ideas ?

    Thank You

    Hi,
    I wear a 14 wide and that is considered to be a big foot. I have seen basketball players with 18 and 20. The biggest I have seen in person is a 20.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I'm really surprised to see a very "preppy" looking shoe made by a rapper (or by his company.)

    Is it possible it is for a store display? Agree it looks pretty big.

    Billy, does it has a size mark anywhere on the shoe?

    EDIT...typing as you posted.

    So it is marked 16 (you aren't just estimating, right?) Reason I asked, a friend sold a store display oversized shoe, got some good money for it as I recall.

    Hi Lucille, no tags anywhere but the old man I bought them from said size 16, I bought the pair

    The fact that you have two makes me think they are not a display, but maybe do a bit of searching under "vintage shoe store display" or "vintage shoe display".

    How long are they exactly, front to back?

    I started to search a bit, and found this. I realize this shoe is completely different from yours (should post under "Great Finishes", this single used shoe $$$, gads...), but wondered if you might be able to contact the seller to ask about yours, posssibly if no one here comes up with anything. Seems like this sellers does nothing but shoes, you never know, they might be willing to share some info.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    Enter the following (as is, including quote marks) into Google: "Danny boy" OConnor "luxury edition"

    Then look under images. I don't recognize the site, so I'm not going there on my phone, but they have these:
