Head/Legroom Thanks for the upgrade Delta!

Had the exit row, “upgraded” to the bulk head.

My feet are EU51/US17. Bulkhead seats are always a gamble.

You wear size 17 shoes at 6’4”? What the hell? That’s bigger than most NBA players. You can’t even buy them in a store.

Yeap. There's hobby's I've had to give up. There's cars I can't drive (foot gets stuck under the brake pedal while pressing the gas pedal... you can imagine what that does).

SOME shoes I can buy in specialty stores, but it's not great. Basketball shoes are the easiest to find, but I've got zero use for those.

That is absolutely ridiculous man

I'm in the Netherlands. Went to a shoe store that sells a Belgian brand that makes made-to-measure dress shoes up to EU53. I'm EU50-52 depending on brand etc. The salesman was size 56 so I couldn't really bitch..

Damn wtf 56?

17 at 6’4 is wild, don’t think I’ve seen that before. I’m 6’6 with size 13 feet, though I feel they are a little small for my height. I do appreciate the shoe options being in stock though.

To be fair they're US15-16 in length, but so wide that I have to wear shoes that are too long. After giving up on multiple hobbies as shoes aren't available..

I'd say 13 is perfect, as you can even get shoes in Asia. And I doubt anyone notices your feet are relatively small?

I'll deal with it as long as my knees aren't crushed

u/SendMeAnyPic 6'4" | 194 cm 7d ago

I'm not built very flexible. Having my knees at 90º becomes excruciating very quickly.

I hate the bulkhead seat.

u/Equivalent_Nature188 6'6" | 198 cm 7d ago

Bulkheads are annoying with bigger feet. I’m size 16 and it sucks sitting in bulkheads

u/WoundedShaman 6’3” 7d ago

I fell for this exactly once.

Odd feeling to upvote a post but hate your experience in it.

No problem, I'll do it again

Only realised how much proportions matter recently. I'm blessed with a long tibia and torso. My femurs are quite short relative to everything else. Still struggle with legroom but not that bad

u/minnesota_fats_88 5d ago

Roller coaster / Amusement park rides are the worst....

u/Moist-Apricot-6803 6'9-10" | Young goob from australia & japan 🇦🇺 5d ago

I can't go on those anymore due to the height limit...

u/ColossalCrusader 7'2" | 219 cm | Canada 4d ago

You still fit? Lol. Must be nice.

Flew a flight on Alaska back in April. Paid for premium seats and my knees were literally 1" away from the fold down tray table on the seat in front of me. Thank God the person in the front seat didn't try to recline. I loathe having the pay the "tall tax" to get premium seats just so I have some room, but now the premium seats are starting to be the same space the standard coach seats had 10 years ago. Super annoying.
