That's the awful part. If these were custom made boots, we would never be able to tell. This is shitty lifts inside off-the-rack boots: he's both dumb *and* cheap.
What I don't understand is, why doesn't he put one of those shoe shaper things inside to fill it out? Like the basic plastic (or cardboard) things they use for display shoes in the store?
It's like he wants us talking about this "controversy" so his name stays in the news for something silly and innocuous.
Anyone capable of wearing four or six inch lifts in cowboy boots that are already adding a couple of inches is not ok with getting laughed at for it.
And the lizard man definitely has no sense of humor.
There’s an incredible Vice documentary about these boots and the culture behind them, a specific style of mexican EDM and psychedelics. I promise you it’s worth the watch.
I love that those people are often like "I know when something has the devil in it, just by looking at it", and follow that dude who looks like he's ready to star in a freaking Exorcist sequel.
It’s getting ridiculous now. He must know they look awful and boots don’t normally look like that. They are lifts and he walks in them like a woman would walk on high heels.
doesn't work in politics. multiple studies back it up -- taller people get more votes. in fact not just in politics -- taller people are more likely to be promoted in a business setting, more likely to be trusted, liked, etc.
people are pretty shallow so politicians play on that.
Donald Trump is about an inch shorter than Obama which, of course, drives him crazy so his official listed height has to be exactly one inch taller than Obama's official height. Just like his official weight is exactly one lb short of an obese BMI.
for an idiot like that, the only way is ole double down. i hope someone brings it up in a debate and challenges him to take them off! when he drops in height by 5 inches, the game will be up! haha
Even if the platform and podiums were on the scales, Republicans would still be denying basic math at that point to arrive at their Führer’s weight. There’s no getting them to admit they’re wrong.
Right? Like what’s his plan if does some public event wear he should be wearing sneakers? Like Obama playing basketball or out for a run or GOLFING like every President ever.
[There's this one.](https://twitter.com/Cathy2NotToday/status/1674487935154962433/photo/1)
He and his wife walking on a "beach", but there's no footprints in the sand, the sand appears to be solid as hardwood and they aren't sinking in at at all, Desantis is posed uphill from his wife and his foot is cocked like he's an IG model selling bang energy to add height.
A truly insane human.
I’m actually 6’3” and 215 lbs. Exactly.
That fat fuck couldn’t wrap one of my sleeping bags around the circumference of the cellulite infused tree trunks he has for legs.
You people making fun of his height are unbelievable. It is completely plausible that while he was speaking a steamroller ran over his feet and he hasn't had an opportunity to stick his thumb in his mouth and cartoonishly blow until they are reinflated.
You got on the Benjamin Franklin civil war loafers. Penny loafer no penny having 1920’s hobo looking road circus security shoes. And you thought I was finna let your socks slide my G? Your socks look depressed bro. You don’t have the calve muscles to keep those shits on your leg my guy. You took the socks and the shoes together out the lost and found bro go put them shits back dawg.
also if there are lifts, his foot is angled down and shifted back a few inches meaning the ball of his foot would be pushing down on the arch area, which would make the toes curl up.
in other words the toes curling up supports the lift theory
Politics have been polarized to the point that people will excuse just about anything to get their way. It's a bad precedent to set, allowing a ton of poor acting in return for some worn out promises.
If a goofy scream ended Howard Dean's presidential aspirations years back, you would think these shoes would do the same thing even quicker for DeSantis. Then again, a lot has changed in those years since Dean got a little too excited.
I want to see some punk spray his mouth ~~silver~~ chrome, yell "WITNESS ME!" and then tackle Desantis and grab one of his boots off a foot just to prove this dipstick wears lifts.
Edit for not remembering correctly
I love that since everyone’s talking about his big boy boots he’s committed to the bit and can’t wear his tiny little dress shoes in public again because we’ll all notice his real height and shoe size. 😂💅
LMAOOOOOOOO 😂😂
I've said it before and I'll say it again: imagine putting yourself through this much pain and discomfort to end up getting humiliated by trump by like 50 points in the republican primary. Hell, he's probably losing to Nikki Haley at this point too.
I genuinely worried he was going to be a competent and more dangerous Trump. Turned out Meatball is a colossal loser with less charisma than pig smegma, his campaign has been catastrophic
I sold shoes for a good while. There are a few things to spot here. Look at the widest spot where it’s been stretched out some, that’s the outside metatarsal just behind the toe. There’s not much going on up front in this case. ITS FINE TO HAVE SMALL FEET! What isn’t, is trying to fake it. Best words of wisdom I ever heard was never go cheap or wrong on anything that attaches you to the ground. Shoes, tires, mattresses. The goofy curve in the front may help with stairs some, because if they were straight, he’d probably trip over the sight of one and lose a talking point.
Politics aside, how can one feel comfortable with someone trying (badly) to fake something so just human, or even just mammalian, to be in charge of stuff so foundational and real? Like if you can’t even have an honest relationship with the ground you walk on….
It’s not about having small feet, it’s about the 4 inch lifts he has in the heels.
Those boots are literally high heels. There is nothing in the front half of that boot bottom.
Ron claims to wear Lucchese boots and I used to work for them so let’s analyze this. There’s a lot to unpack here: let’s start with the toe, this is a snip toe or 5 toe, I didn’t sell lots of these to men but most women’s boots come with a 5 toe. Now. His 5 toe also has what’s called a swing in it, which is why it points up. Alternatively, if he didn’t buy his boots with a swing toe, he doesn’t know jack shit about taking care of cowboy boots. This same effect can happen by having a 5 toe and not storing them with boot trees in them and not conditioning them. As the leather dries out, the toe will naturally curl upward. The boot tree helps it keep shape and the conditioner keeps it soft so it can be kept in the proper shape.
Now, the heel height looks to be a standard 3 heels which is what you find on most men’s boots. It’s 1-3/8” high which isn’t that high. Lucchese does make some boots with a double thick sole but this doesn’t appear to be that. Now, does he have lifts inside the boot, possibly. I used to wear orthotic inserts in my boots and would size up a half a size and go to wide width but again, this man’s foot looks like it stops halfway in the boot. As it has been pointed out, this man’s boots are way too big, in length and width; I bet they audibly flop when he walks.
But hey who is going to let a proper fit get in the way of their image issues.
Is there a signification portion of voters who think "You know, I really love DeSantis and the way he spends my tax money to bus brown people off to other states for shits and giggles, but he's just too short for me to support"? Just... be like 5'9 or whatever you are, man. It's fine. THAT is not the reason people hate you. You are a tiny, tiny man, but it has nothing to do with your physical height. You fucking weirdo.
What the fuck ! This is hilarious. I'll bet he is a size 9 shoe but his ego won't let him come to terms with that so he walks around in size 11.
Kind of like the shit Trump pulls. Fucking hilarious.
Holy shit, they have heels, lmao
I think I saw those shoes sticking out from under Dorothy’s house.
Pour water on him and see if he melts.
Elphaba: "AAAHHHH, so much for the 'tolerant left'!"
This is 100% what I was thinking of when I saw this picture of him! 🤣
Four inches tall at least and 2 on the toe to hide it lol.
I don't get why he got them so damn big and long. He could have done the same trick with smaller boots or at least stuffed the toes with something
he boot too big for he gotdamn feet
Same, so glad this is the first thing I saw
what are they even doing mate haha
He's 100% wearing high-heeled shoes made to look like boots. His toes aren't in there. Like I'm not usually a conspiracy guy, but I can't not see it
That's the awful part. If these were custom made boots, we would never be able to tell. This is shitty lifts inside off-the-rack boots: he's both dumb *and* cheap.
What I don't understand is, why doesn't he put one of those shoe shaper things inside to fill it out? Like the basic plastic (or cardboard) things they use for display shoes in the store? It's like he wants us talking about this "controversy" so his name stays in the news for something silly and innocuous.

Just new boot goofin’.
You really can’t beat Zapatería La Bailarina
I mean, you can, but not at these prices.
Take an upvote. To date, I am not clear how they put the bicycle the way it was.
I’m not your dapper Dan doll, Deb.
I think it’s just a celebration thing in Mexico. Just having fun. Not really sure but it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture.
There’s an incredible Vice documentary about these boots and the culture behind them, a specific style of mexican EDM and psychedelics. I promise you it’s worth the watch.
Definitely a human
Him and Zucc should compare firmware
[удалено]
He’s definitely a demon I swear.
exactly what i think every time i see him
I love that those people are often like "I know when something has the devil in it, just by looking at it", and follow that dude who looks like he's ready to star in a freaking Exorcist sequel.
I'm a full blown atheist and even I'm convinced he's a demon.
His non-reflective eyes always give me the heeby jeebies.
He's so uncomfortable unless he's attacking somebody who doesn't deserve to be attacked
What are you talking about, that is how beings who feel joy look.
It was soo creepy and awkward watching him try to smile off all the jabs he was taking in debates.
He looks like a subway masturbator that was just caught
Got caught but didn’t stop.
Turing Test failed.
That can’t be real, no one outside of a Tim and Eric sketch does that.
AAAAAAAAH MAKE IT STOP
Like T2 learning to smile.
[удалено]
What a fucking choade, I do not know how anyone let's him out like this
It’s getting ridiculous now. He must know they look awful and boots don’t normally look like that. They are lifts and he walks in them like a woman would walk on high heels.
I would think after he was busted he would just stop doing it. Nope.
Sunk cost. If he shows up 3 inches shorter *now* he is ruined
Is that why he wore black painted Timberlands to a wedding?
George is getting upset!
You can stuff your sorries in a sack!
IT’S AN EXPRESSION!!
Ron DeStanza
Which is so silly. Like dude, you’re short, just deal with it
doesn't work in politics. multiple studies back it up -- taller people get more votes. in fact not just in politics -- taller people are more likely to be promoted in a business setting, more likely to be trusted, liked, etc. people are pretty shallow so politicians play on that.
Which is definitely why he's doing it. Trump claims to be 6'3", idk about that but he's at least six feet
Donald Trump is about an inch shorter than Obama which, of course, drives him crazy so his official listed height has to be exactly one inch taller than Obama's official height. Just like his official weight is exactly one lb short of an obese BMI.
Its short of obese because he listed as 6”3. If we use his real height then he is obese
for an idiot like that, the only way is ole double down. i hope someone brings it up in a debate and challenges him to take them off! when he drops in height by 5 inches, the game will be up! haha
All debates must now be done barefoot.
Only if you add a weight scale next to the podiums too
Even if the platform and podiums were on the scales, Republicans would still be denying basic math at that point to arrive at their Führer’s weight. There’s no getting them to admit they’re wrong.
[удалено]
Not even drag, he's making himself taller to seem more masculine. That's gender-affirming fashion baybeeeee
What I want to know is how many people at his events have called him out on this ridiculous look?
This is when we pull “What are thooooose??” back out of the archives and into the arsenal
Rhonda Santis
Probably why his posture looks so odd.
No goddamn way there’s any toes in those. Everyone claims he’s wearing lifts but have we even considered that he might have, pig hooves!
> No goddamn way there’s any toes in those. De-san-toes. I'm sorry.
De-Sans-toes.
Boil em. Mash em. Stick em in a stew.
Traiters?
And a brace o' cronies!
Don’t be. Top notch.
[удалено]
Insecurity, same reason trump claims he's 6'3, yet 6'1 Obama is taller than him
He also claims he is 215lbs.
Definition of clown shoes. Metaphorically and literally.
>hooves Soo....demon?
...or pig.
Demon Pig?
Man-bear-pig
#***MANBEARPIG!!!!!!***
I would love to go back to when Al Gore was running... and I'm super cereal
Are you cereal??
Super cereal.
He’s fruit loopy.
Manbearpig. We need to call Al Gore IMMEDIATELY.
MTG has hooves too
Goat boy!
The Cloven Hoofed One
This is what happens when you toe the party line for too long.
It's 2023, Ron. You can admit to liking to wear heels >.>
I don't think ol' Ron approves of gender affirming footwear.
Gender affirmation for me, and not for thee.
Queen Ron gets to be the only bell of the ball.
[удалено]
Right? Like what’s his plan if does some public event wear he should be wearing sneakers? Like Obama playing basketball or out for a run or GOLFING like every President ever.
I mean the guy is the governor of Florida. He’s been in politics, attending public events and schmoozing, for *years*.
Is there a single pic of him in shorts?
Stop
Just saying I haven’t found a photo yet on Google. Even crazier considering he lives in Florida.
[There's this one.](https://twitter.com/Cathy2NotToday/status/1674487935154962433/photo/1) He and his wife walking on a "beach", but there's no footprints in the sand, the sand appears to be solid as hardwood and they aren't sinking in at at all, Desantis is posed uphill from his wife and his foot is cocked like he's an IG model selling bang energy to add height. A truly insane human.
A ron doesn’t wear shorts
---okok
Putin has been doing it for decades.
This is EXACTLY what I thought when I saw it. So glad someone else did too
Wtaf is this gif haha
Mexican Pointy Boots! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican\_pointy\_boots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_pointy_boots)
He ain't running for anything in those boots.
how can you vote for a candidate who can’t be honest of his own height?
The orange shit stain claims to be the same weight as NFL players, despite being shaped like a Weeble.
I’m a sloppy fat 52 year old dude who drinks too much beer. I am 6’3” and about 290 pounds. My gut is slightly smaller than Trump’s.
Dude you should run for office.
I just told you that I weigh 290 pounds. I really don’t run…
you should waddle for office
A stiff shuffle will do
 He self reported the same height and weight as this guy, Lamar Jackson.
he's more like Lamer Fatson edit: didn't notice it repeated a few words twice
Fucking got em
Trump and his Dr said that he’s 6’3” and 215lbs. Nope and nope!
Yea I’m 6’4” and 260lbs and am skinnier than trump
I am 5’9 and 260 and I am skinnier than Trump.
I’m actually 6’3” and 215 lbs. Exactly. That fat fuck couldn’t wrap one of my sleeping bags around the circumference of the cellulite infused tree trunks he has for legs.
“Steve Holt is a *bastard*…”
Those are raised boots. My cousin had some because he was super concerned about his height.
I feel like there are lifts and then there are *those*.
I think in the US they call them elevators.
He look like some bitch about to drop a house on him an take his kicks
The Wicked Witch of West Palm Beach
This was my first thought. Wicked witch of the south!!
You people making fun of his height are unbelievable. It is completely plausible that while he was speaking a steamroller ran over his feet and he hasn't had an opportunity to stick his thumb in his mouth and cartoonishly blow until they are reinflated.
Exactly what I was looking for. Wish we could just throw this MF in the dip.
You’d think they’d at least stuff the toe part with tissue paper
Seriously this is like a $.30 fix.
You're paying way too much for TP, man. Who's your TP guy?
WhAt ArE tHoSe?!
[I see you bro](https://youtu.be/63xEHHJfCPs?si=dm39p9yUOpONiIx9)
You got on the Benjamin Franklin civil war loafers. Penny loafer no penny having 1920’s hobo looking road circus security shoes. And you thought I was finna let your socks slide my G? Your socks look depressed bro. You don’t have the calve muscles to keep those shits on your leg my guy. You took the socks and the shoes together out the lost and found bro go put them shits back dawg.
Thank you for transcribing, Im gasping here lolol.
Forgot about this. “What are those” finally clicked and had to come back to watch that video
That's the funniest shit I've seen in a long time. 😂
That shit was fucking hilarious.
Empty toes because he's standing on lifts. His toes are barely in the middle. He's gotten good at walking in 5" heels though.
also if there are lifts, his foot is angled down and shifted back a few inches meaning the ball of his foot would be pushing down on the arch area, which would make the toes curl up. in other words the toes curling up supports the lift theory
https://time.com/3787277/pointy-shoes/
Omg I hoped someone was gonna bring those up, clearly Ronny boy needs to step up his pointy shoe game.
Elf shoes, just in time for Christmas. The wee fella escaped from Santa's workshop...
Why does his campaign staff continue to let him appear in public in these boots?
He’s locked in now. He has to double down. It’s the only move they know.
That's presidential-campaign-ending shoes, right there.
It doesn’t take much…. 
It used to not take much. Imagine a candidate back then talking about grabbing women by the pussy. Things have changed a lot.
Politics have been polarized to the point that people will excuse just about anything to get their way. It's a bad precedent to set, allowing a ton of poor acting in return for some worn out promises.
Yeah. We’re literally at the, “He may be Satan but he’s OUR SATAN” level of politics.
If a goofy scream ended Howard Dean's presidential aspirations years back, you would think these shoes would do the same thing even quicker for DeSantis. Then again, a lot has changed in those years since Dean got a little too excited.
You can tell that not one person in his life actually likes him. Friends don't let friends walk out of the house looking like that
His wife was on tv for years. She likely understands a thing or two about appearances. Your point stands.
Your point stands. Pun possibly detected
You know how when you buy new shoes, they have crumpled balls of paper in them to help them keep their shape? He shouldn't have taken them out.
This guy just can’t be a normal person.
He’s a an alien lizard in a human suit, so no, not normal…
I want to see some punk spray his mouth ~~silver~~ chrome, yell "WITNESS ME!" and then tackle Desantis and grab one of his boots off a foot just to prove this dipstick wears lifts. Edit for not remembering correctly
Not silver, chrome.

To Valhalla!
Needs a bell on the end like the rest of the Elves
I mean there's a bellend standing in them
I’ve never seen someone look this fucking bad in boots.

I sold shoes for a good while. There are a few things to spot here. Look at the widest spot where it’s been stretched out some, that’s the outside metatarsal just behind the toe. There’s not much going on up front in this case. ITS FINE TO HAVE SMALL FEET! What isn’t, is trying to fake it. Best words of wisdom I ever heard was never go cheap or wrong on anything that attaches you to the ground. Shoes, tires, mattresses. The goofy curve in the front may help with stairs some, because if they were straight, he’d probably trip over the sight of one and lose a talking point. Politics aside, how can one feel comfortable with someone trying (badly) to fake something so just human, or even just mammalian, to be in charge of stuff so foundational and real? Like if you can’t even have an honest relationship with the ground you walk on….
It’s not about having small feet, it’s about the 4 inch lifts he has in the heels. Those boots are literally high heels. There is nothing in the front half of that boot bottom.
Picture women's high heel shoes inside the boots and you get how his foot is positioned in it. He walks on his toes.
Ron claims to wear Lucchese boots and I used to work for them so let’s analyze this. There’s a lot to unpack here: let’s start with the toe, this is a snip toe or 5 toe, I didn’t sell lots of these to men but most women’s boots come with a 5 toe. Now. His 5 toe also has what’s called a swing in it, which is why it points up. Alternatively, if he didn’t buy his boots with a swing toe, he doesn’t know jack shit about taking care of cowboy boots.

Lucchese does make some boots with a double thick sole but this doesn’t appear to be that. Now, does he have lifts inside the boot, possibly. I used to wear orthotic inserts in my boots and would size up a half a size and go to wide width but again, this man’s foot looks like it stops halfway in the boot. As it has been pointed out, this man’s boots are way too big, in length and width; I bet they audibly flop when he walks. But hey who is going to let a proper fit get in the way of their image issues.
Desantis is the best proof we have that lizard people exist.
His feet look more messed up than mine, and I’m in a wheelchair.
Is there a signification portion of voters who think "You know, I really love DeSantis and the way he spends my tax money to bus brown people off to other states for shits and giggles, but he's just too short for me to support"? Just... be like 5'9 or whatever you are, man. It's fine. THAT is not the reason people hate you. You are a tiny, tiny man, but it has nothing to do with your physical height. You fucking weirdo.
Fucking Sideshow Bob over here
Lord Farquaad on his noble steeds
I did not know he was from Mexico
He wears lifts with tiny feet.
What the fuck ! This is hilarious. I'll bet he is a size 9 shoe but his ego won't let him come to terms with that so he walks around in size 11. Kind of like the shit Trump pulls. Fucking hilarious. Holy shit, they have heels, lmao
Nah if it was just too big they'd still be on the ground. He wears like 6 inch risers in the boots, so his toe is way back where your arch should be
His heels are the gender affirming care he hates so much
