In the article published Tuesday, Politico Magazine’s Derek Guy noted that three bootmakers, including Zephan Parker, who owns the Houston, Texas-based Parker Boot Company, said that DeSantis’s boots are altered to accommodate lifts.
“I’ve dealt with these politicians many times,” Parker told the outlet. “I’ve helped them with their lifts. [DeSantis] is wearing lifts; there’s no doubt.”

Lifts paired with the traditional cowboy boots, which tend to have higher heels, can essentially “turn them into five-inch stilettos,” Parker said, noting that in instances where lifts are used, the heels of the boots are often shortened, as the combination is “too much for the common man.”
“So on a ready-made boot, they’ll cut down the heel about half an inch to accommodate the lifts, which looks to be what happened here,” he said.

On his podcast, Triggered, on Monday, Donald Trump Jr. said that “people will only remember [DeSantis’s] presidential run for his ridiculous boots or, as many refer to them, heels.”

“Tell me what the level of insecurity is that you have to wear heel lifts this high,” he added.
Wow… breaking news!
This is huge! If he takes the lead this’ll destroy his chances.~sarc
You know, I toss and turn at night worrying about such important things.
It doesn’t matter whether he’s 4’2” or 8’2”. He surrounds himself with Bushies. That’s all I need to know.
Pubbie on the cutting edge of important breaking news...lol
Meatball continues to entertain me and for that reason alone I want him to remain in the contest. At least for now.
Collosal waste of time talking about this crap.
You should know by now that I have no respect for RdS — but this boot lift crap is petty, irrelevant and counterproductive.

I talked to 3 hookers once who told me that most male DemocRAT politicians wear penis extensions during interviews. Same with female politicians. This is some badass bootmaker news.
Look I am no DeoSanctus fan but why would that be so terrible?
Posers suck.
Toe ends looks like clown shoes.
Is every woman that wears make up a poser?
Because it’s so phoney and unnatural.
Does you wife wear make up?
So what?
Anyone on the public stage is going to be attentive to their appearance. How many articles have been written about Donald Trump’s hair? Countless. Especially during his first campaign. That’s simply a part of his stage presence.
