But hold on, those size 11′s must have taken more material to make so does the person with the bigger feet get the better deal? Are they infact getting more for their money when innocent people with smaller feet are getting a bad deal?

The same would apply for any item of clothing. If you are smaller in physical stature then I think it should only be right that your items of clothing should be cheaper than those larger sizes. Otherwise, the big corporations who make these garments are only laughing all the way to the bank whenever a smaller person buys clothes.

The solution therefore, is that the prices should be reduced for smaller sized items in proportion to the amount of material used (or not used, should I say). Either that, or small people everywhere should unite and protest about it. Naked. With whipped cream. Ok, ok, minus the cream…
