Ron DeSantis IS telling tall tales when he says he doesn't wear lifts, shoemakers reveal: Experts point to all the signs in Florida governor's cowboy boots that he DOES have hidden heels

I am guessing DeSantis is about 5’8” or 5’9” in his stocking feet.

I first met him in 2018 and he was wearing regular cowboy boots which added about 1.5” to 2” to his height.

Ron seems to have become more vain about his height over the years.

Robert DeNiro wears platforms to tower over shorty 5'6" Al Pacino.

Of all the things I have to be concerned about personally and in the world, this isn’t high on the list.

[Jonty30]

That’s the way it should be, but the simple fact is that people respond by the physicality of a person. A taller person, for whatever reason, is assumed to be more competent and authoritative than the shorter person.

Not all but most of the taller candidates win.

In the thirty-one presidential elections between 1900 and 2020, twenty-one of the winning candidates have been taller than their opponents, while nine have been shorter, and one was the same height. On average the winner was 1.20 inches taller than the loser.—Wikipedia

Right you are. On a 0 to 10 scale of importance, this rates as a 0.1.

After all, Reagan dyed his hair. And so does Trump. A friend of mine says he has a mechanical engineering degree. It’s actually a two-year associates in engineering technology. I think no less of him, as I understand his situation.

Who cares, anyway? Let’s all focus on more important things, like how the Democrats are destroying the country.

Silly

It’s Elton John’s own fault for giving these to the charity thrift shop. I grabbed them one second ahead of Lady Gaga.

I’m a supporter of DeSantis for governor of FL but not as presidential material.

That said, WHO CARES???????

Like Trump, if that is the worst they can dig up on him, he’s on way better shape than any democrat alive on the planet.

[devane617]

I dont care

[toddausauras]

Ron has done a great job for the country. Heels?...don’t care.

[dforest]

Well then nothing is worse than thinking that nonsense and doing something foolish like this because of the nonsense.

I think this fella isn’t ready yet to be a POTUS. He needs to marinate longer and become more wise and personable.

William Shatner wore them, and actually allowed it to be a plot point in a Columbo episode. Only the Shat could pull that off.

Oscar-winning 5’8” actor Yul Brynner famously insisted that the exceptionally tall (especially for that era) 5’10 Ingrid Bergman walk in a trench next to him.

Don Adams would often stand a box when next to Barbara Feldon, and she would purposely slouch. She almost didn't get the job because of her height. Fortunately it worked out, as she was perfect.

Horse whip he won Florida big and the media didn’t create that

[Tell It Right]

If DeSantis was a smart alec he’d point out that the left’s fixation with his height is equivalent to the left’s fixation with Trump’s “small hands”. LOL

It’s Elton John’s own fault for giving these to the charity thrift shop.

Nowhere near what that shrimp Reg Dwight wore in real life.

[Jonty30]

Trump also combs his hair in a manner to avoid admitting that he’s losing his hair.

If you’re 5’9” just own it. Rand Paul is like 5’7” and he just owns it.
