He was unbelievably mobile and athletic,when he was younger,for such a huge guy. He could jump over the top rope and perform a dropkick,thats insane. Vince McMahon told him to stop performing these moves because he wanted a more traditional giant.

Hi Rob,
You may have commented on this picture before, but does Show look about 6’11” here with 6’6 1/2” Dennis Rodman? Click Here
This pic is from 2007 and I think it has been mentioned before that Show’s forehead could be close to 5 inches.Maybe Show is a fraction over like 6’11 1/4”

On Conan O’Brien in 2000, Big Show said he was about 7’1” and went on about being inexact about height when you’re over seven feet. Then he said “on TV” he’s 500 lbs, but he’s actually 430, slimmed down.
He looks very tall next to Conan, who’s also quite tall. I suspect he exaggerated but was a strong 7’ at the time, even though he barely looks 6’10” at times now. Giants have more size to lose than most people.

@Daniel Lee: I think Nash at 6’9 or a hair over afternoon fits and Show at 6’11.5 maybe a hair over fits. They can look 2.5” apart. That’s how Rob had them listed in their primes too 7’0 and 6’9.5”. I would say I agree with most of your list. I’d say at least lunchtime heights based on your numbers

Andre 212.4 cm (I’d say 210 range lunch) 209-10 afternoon

I was referring to size, not moves.
Paul Wight certainly lost height. I feel a peak 7' 1" but he probably did not stay very long on that height as his weight increased over career. Nowadays perhaps 6' 11" when he can keep good posture (when he's down to say 340lb) but may look 6'9"+ at times when he balloons up to 400lb.

Not true. Wrestlers "oversell" their opponent's moves quite often to make the moves seem more devestating that they actually are. It has existed since the inception of the industry.

To compensate his billed height, Nash would most likely have to be as short as possible to make Paul look as if he was even close to 7 feet. I feel his barefoot peak height was 7'0.00, of course taking in account his bad posture and shrinking throughout the day to 6'11 3/4 or 6'11.00

So who also wore lifts? That's confusing because he was barefoot with Akebono and that was past what looked like his peak. So what do you think his peak height barefoot was then? I really don't buy anyone claiming this man was under 6'10 in his prime. Look at Nash next to Rob and that wasn't prime Nash. Now show had 2 inches on Nash in his prime and I doubt he was the only one wearing lifts or else Nash would be too.

Actually he would struggle to measure on the stadiometer as many go to about 6ft 9-10 and then stop.

As a Professional Wrestling Fan,I have known that Wight's lifts were doubled in size during his 11' - 15' run when he was very heavy. It was noted that he was 6'11 7/8 in his lifts before and after matches. The lifts I've seen him were had to be anywhere from 1'- 1.5' inches. Final Opinion, he was definitely a case of posture, I believe he held the 6'11 from 95' - 10, and shrunk an inch and had to wear lifts.

In my opinion 7'0 peak out of bed in his prime. In the mid/early 90's he was huge. He looked around 2 inches taller than Nash and around 3.5 inches taller than Kane and Undertaker. Not sure if he was a lift wearer but anyone saying he was under 6'10 prime is being facetious.

Rob,
I have this t shirt of Big Show hand print (Back) for a very long time almost 18 years... I measured his hand and it's not much over 9 inches long, but his fingers and palms are very thick sausage like. I can imagine his hands next to Sultan Kosen it would be much shorter in length from middle finger and down certainly it wouldn't look small in terms of density and thickness right?

Hopefully Show can hold onto his current range, but in 15 years I would expect he'd lose another inch at least.

I feel like Wight wears a gigantic lift during his wrestling appearances, Wight isn't a very talented wrestler anymore and isn't very mobile. I feel he wears at least a 3.5 or 2.5 inch lift in his wrestling boots. Because He personally to me looks 6'11 - 7'0 range on AEW.
I reckon he is more so of 6'8.75

@Jordan87
I personally disagree that Show was 6'10.5 or 6'10, but I would say he was definitely 6'11 ⅞, slowly and gradually going from that to at a low of 6'11.5 in his youth.
For some reason I personally think after he had his surgery he slowly shrank to regular size for his height, if that makes any sense. I feel before his surgery he was 7'0 flat, and slowly began to dip after weight gain and terrible posture went into effect.
After seeing him Transition from WCW to WWE in the 1995 - 99 era, the weight gain after his transition from WCW look humongous making him lose his slim appeal.
Final guess:
Peak:6'11 ⅞ to 7'0
Current: 6'10 - 6'9 ½
@Jordan87
I personally disagree that Show was 6'10.5 or 6'10, but I would say he was definitely 6'11 ⅞, slowly and gradually going from that to at a low of 6'11.5 in his youth.
For some reason I personally think after he had his surgery he slowly shrank to regular size for his height, if that makes any sense. I feel before his surgery he was 7'0 flat, and slowly began to dip after weight gain and terrible posture went into effect.

@ SeanR,
No, Big Show is closer to your Camera in the pic. HE was 6'10-6'10.5" in his prime. Shaq crushes any 7'0 Shot by Show.

Show has terrible posture, and when he is at his worst most likely after a match I guarantee he is 6'8 7/8. He already has been shown with an ESPN reporter looking 6'9.75 I'm sure he can look 6'8. nie as far as him lookin 6'8 as a constant I doubt it, cause dude just needs to straighten up. He already has legs like Khali.
If you seen his legs they're huge and not frail looking like Khali, If Paul is 6'8" that would make everyone else shorter than they actually are clearly your delusional!

If he wasn't 7'0 prime he was very close to it.
A 6'11 WCW Wight would put Nash below 6'9 which would be insane and throw everything off. It looked like barefoot it was around 2.5' between them and in footwear closer to 3'.
It's hard to know exactly what he'd measure today. Standing completely straight he can still look 6'10 or over at times, but it's rare. I think he'd measure barefoot at 6'10/6'10.25 today, but I can't see him under that, posture aside.

@Alex 6'0
I understand what you're saying, I feel 6'11 billing would basically be what someone his size wihtout Acromeglic features would be billed as.
For example, If Big Cass were his height he would have been billed at 6'11, giving the Wight the much more monstrous 7'0 listing.
I feel as of Wight being in AEW, 7'0 shouldn't be his listing He should just be a Giant or The Giant Paul Wight. He's barely 6'9 some days, and sometimes looks 6'10. On his worst days, He can look 6'8 ⅞ or 6'9 ¾.
Another question is what would his billing even be?

Someone on Elevation (AEW Show) a commentator billed him at 7'4, and retracted his comment. He looks like a 6'11 guy in his wrestling gear and isn't really mobile probably around that 6'10 mark if not he definitely can look significantly lower like 6'8 or 6'9.

Editor RobIt would be a surprising billing for a peak Big Show if he received 6ft 11, though nowadays if they called him that, most would think he looked under 7ft.
miko said on 24/Oct/21
Until we see him in a staredown with someone around the same height it's hard to tell what he is at this present time.
Nobody in AEW is anywhere near his height, so unless Shaq comes back for a match, or if they sign Braun Strowman, we won't be able to gauge him for a while.
He's likely still around 6'10 fully stretched out.

Paul Wight is definitely one of my favorites. I feel as if age and wrestling while being at a very large mass of weight is taking a toll on his current status as far as height and capabilities.
When he returned in 2017 with phenomenal weight loss he looked very well and could definitely reach the 6'11 mark in his professional wrestling boots, meaning he had to have 6'10.
Now, He looks as if from imploding to 407 from 385 he looks to be in horrendous shape. I feel as if depending on his weight, as of 2021 in this moment he is more then likely 6'10 ½, resorting to a 1 inch loss throughout the day dropping him to 6'9.

Show being 6´9 sounds absurd. If he is that short i know tens of people much taller than him. He is big of course. But with shag pictures there i see feet he is only 1 inch shorter. Normally i dont care peoples height under 7´2 but i hear 6´7 or so. That is not even possible. I give Big show atleast 210cm at military posture. But he can be less without that. Or Shag is under 7ft.

@Roboc94, here is the thing. I can see why some have estimated Show in the 6'9-range very recently however in the comparisons Shaq, Shaq usually always has the the favourable angle.
Big Show's shoes look to be approaching 1.5-inches however, Big Shaq's feet size are US 20+, he has massive feet and on top of that he often favours thick basketball shoes. The heels of shoe therefore are often 1.5-inches considering his exceptional foot size. He by default always has a footwear advantage.
With Show, in the ring, I hear of these 2-inch+ differences very often but to me, the difference is no more than an 1.5-inches, possibly less. Shaq himself, realistically is not 7'1, granted but his quotes are usually around 7'0.25, 7'0 and 6'11.75, eitherway, with Shaq at least, more often than not, Show doesn't appear below 6'10 or at least at the time. If he indeed in the 6'9-range, 6'9.75 is a realistic shout.

He is definitely not 7 foot in 2021, maybe he was near that height in his WCW days, but now he is struggling to look 6'10, next to some Athlete (Forgot his name) who claimed to be 6'10 Paul Wright was distinctly shorter than this Former NBA player. Next to Shaq without his wrestling attire and boots, he looked maybe 4' shorter than Shaq. I think his boots give him a solid inch and a half in height. Barefooted I reckon Paul Wright would be 6 foot 9 1/2 at most.

I remember 95', 96' he was billed at 7'4 and 350ilbs and all of a sudden 400ilbs+. 7'4 was obviously an exaggeration but he definently looked 7'0. It might have been his relatively slender weight at the time but he looked like a strong 7-footer and even upto to very recently, I am not very sure about these 6'9 estimates but he has looked 6'10 at least. I say he can still get measured at 6'10+ if he stretched out.

I can go with the listed 6'10, while I've seen him in some great AEW Confrontations and his Debut Match. He looks to be standing the same way he stood in 2011 - 15'. He also is losing more nowadays in a recent interview he has stated he is now 407 pounds.
He looks to be more of as listed:
Paul Wight W/ Sneakers: 6'10 with straight posture, 6'9 1/2 regular posture.
Paul Wight w/ Wrestling Boots: 6'11.5 with straight posture, and 6'10.25 regular posture.

6’11.75-7’0 at his peak. He’s a guy I can easily see losing an inch
Just to clarify I meant an inch throughout the day not an inch of height loss. I think he’s gone from 7’0ish to 6’9.5ish

I don’t think he was ever 7’, but his fans will claim otherwise. At most 6’11”, today barely 6’10”.

I agree with these listings, 7'0" peak, 6'10" current. I'm surprised Big Show has lost this much height, considering how he doesn't have as many severe back problems or back injuries that Andre the Giant had.

@King Spattan I think for someone of Big Show’s build, that’s certainly worth considering at least. I’m the same height as him, and I shrink over an inch. Really feel it in the lower back. But I weigh half as much, so am not even in the same realms of sheer mass.
Guys like Show, Shaq, Khali etc, who are tall but also ‘big’ could feasibly drop twice as much height as me, I’d say. Obviously doesn’t mean they all do.

Kane and big show are face to face and kane try to maximize his posture, while big show seems more relaxed. How do you think is the difference here? Seems a 4.5 inch of difference, something above 4 inch flat to me

I personally believe he is 6'10 flat nowadays, He has stated in interview that he is now 407 pounds, which is almost equivalent to his frame when he was very active on the main roster in 2010 - 2016, I personally believe he can be 6'10, and 6'11 with lifts.
I feel he is packing on all this weight to match his upcoming and still being spoken about match with Shaq, 300 pounds would look adequate to go against a 420+ pounder.

Both kane and undertaker got 6'10 and 6'10.5 billed heights and sometimes on tv said as 7'0 lol. Big show got 7'4 in wcw then 7"2 in wwe til it was then downgraded to a 7'0 listing in 2002ish. It was funny because sometimes all 3 were said to be 7'0 on tv yet big was was clearly few inches taller than undertaker and kane lol

@Jimbo Lee: I can see 6’11 range for Show as I’ve always thought he was that but not sure on 7’0”. In Jordan87’s defense, he is no more than 6’10” today and may even be a weaker 6’10 now (6’9.5-10 range). But not all wrestlers are billed with the same 1.25, 2, or 3” standard. The listings are all over the place. Hogan has 6’8 and 6’7 listings both and he was maybe a 6’5 1/2” guy (afternoon height) at best but I lean more toward a strong 6’5 (6’5.25-.5 with 6’6-6’6.25 out of bed) peak. Then there is Taker who was listed 6’10 at one stage and he was never over 6’7” or so like he’s listed here. He always had 1.5-2” on Hogan. Sid 6’9 when he admittted to being 6’6 range and was taller than Hogan but shorter than Taker. Then there are the outliers like Andre who was listed 7’5 but was 6’11” or 7’0” peak. There’s debate that he was only 6’10 as he was listed 208 at one stage at the olympics. My guess would be peak 6’11” range like Show. Then Kane who was 6’7-6’8 and listed 7’. No consistency whatsoever

@Jordan87
Kane was billed at 7'0, and still is. The Undertaker was also billed at 6'10, Viscera at 6'8, and Big Boss Man around 6'6 - 6'7.
In order to make these billed realistically correct due to Kayfabe, Big Show would have to be listed as 7'2, especially during the early 90s. He was billed at 7'2, to match the height difference between him and Kane.
I respectfully disagree that Big Show wasn't over 6'10 but was 6'11 to 7'0 peak. Why? Because In order to cooperate all these billed height, The Wrestling Boot lift has to change among the wrestlers Kane would have to wear a 1.25 inch and Big show would have to wear something that would making taller but at the same to flatter to the ground to make Kane look his heighest.
The Undertaker was 6'7 peak, and Big Show has towered over him on multiple occasions looking sometimes 5 or 4 inches taller with and without wrestling boots. (These are pictures I've seen if anyone would like to post these, please feel free to do so).
So I believe he was 7'0 even peak, and 6'10 quick dipping down to 6'9.5 after a few hours of the day.

There was a photo on Twitter/Instagram of Wight with 6'11 listed Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Wight is closer to the camera but they certain look similar/Wight taller, and Giannis said he 'felt small' next to Show. That would hardly happen if he was under 6'10 would it?
Now he's in AEW and Wrestling again and had his hip fixed, it will be interesting to see a proper staredown with someone tall.

I get they listed him at 7'2", Then they listed him at 7'0 for most of his WWE Career.
If he was a real 6'11, they would not list him at 7'0 Folks, It would have been much higher, 7'3" . Its the WWE, c'mon now. They give 6'2" guys 6'5" listings, you think they are going to give a 6'11" guy a 7'0" listing? NAh NAH

Peak height was definitely 7'0 flat, to 6'11 ⅞. Kayfabe was big in 1990s, You will never see any pictures of Nash and Show during that time because Nash might be dwarfer by show, or Show would only be edging Nash by a little.
Nash would've been 6'9 ½ peak, making show around that 6'11 ⅞ or 7'0 flat differentiate.
Also mind you, Hogan was 6'5 peak, and due to his slim look He looked around 6'6, Paul Wight (Big Show) Had atleast a head on him.
Final guesses would 7'0 even, or 6'11 ⅞.

Thank you - I forgot about that video with Shaq! Maybe I’m wrong, but he looks 7’2” on the dot to me in that video, which my guess would mean without those shoes he had on he’d be 7’1” or slightly less, definitely not under 7’ IMO.
Thanks for the clarity with interview too. My guess was he was joking. Even in the video you posted, he said, “I’m 6’11.75, I’m telling ya.” I think he’s downplaying on purpose.

@NCL also, I can't find the interview on YouTube anymore either, for some reason, but I have seen it. Shaq is young and he has like 2 guys with him on the show. Stern claims Magic Johnson is not 6'9 bc he's met him, and Shaq says he's 6'11 or 6'11.5 himself. (I can't remember which one exactly) but he said it, and the big controversy around that, is in the context of that conversation, it's a popular opinion that people think he was joking. (You'd have to see the vid to understand and make your own judgment, but its really hard to tell.)

I put Shaq at 7’1”. I can’t find any source that says he was shorter barefoot. I know people say that he claimed 6’11” on a Howard Stern interview, but I can’t find any material on that. Also, we have this here: Click Here I have no idea of his footwear here but it looks like he’s a little over 7’2”, maybe 7’2.5” in whatever shoes he’s wearing. So I think 7’1” barefoot is a fair bet (absolute minimum I would go would be 7’).
Shaq with The Great Khali: Click Here Shaq’s eyeline is higher but as you can see from the line drawn, they are the same height. Khali normally wore these wrestling boots: Click Here I’m sure that’s the same if not less than a basketball shoe. So I would put Khali at 7’1”.
Regarding Big Show, here is his first encounter with Great Khali: Click Here there’s not much of a difference there, I’d say an inch, but I think Show has a slight footwear advantage, which would put him at 6’11.5” at this time (7’ peak).
Years later, the gap was more between Shaq and Show, prob 2” here putting Show at 6’11”: Click Here
And years later a 3” gap, putting Show at 6’10” Click Here
And now a 3.5” gap at 6’9.5”! Click Here video for better reference: Click Here This could be the camera angle, but I would put Show at max 6’10” today, IMO 6’9.5”.

Shaq with The Great Khali: Click Here Shaq’s eyeline is higher but as you can see from the line drawn, they are the same height. Khali normally wore these wrestling boots: Click Here I’m sure that’s the same if not less than a basketball shoe. So I would put Khali at 7’1”.
Regarding Big Show, here is his first encounter with Great Khali: Click Here there’s not much of a difference there, I’d say an inch, but I think Show has a slight footwear advantage, which would put him at 6’11.5” at this time (7’ peak).
Years later, the gap was more between Shaq and Show, prob 2” here putting Show at 6’11”: Click Here
And years later a 3” gap, putting Show at 6’10” Click Here
And now a 3.5” gap at 6’9.5”! Click Here video for better reference: Click Here This could be the camera angle, but I would put Show at max 6’10” today, IMO 6’9.5”.

Rob,
Would you dare say Paul Wight can beat Giant Brahim in a fight if so who would win? I don't think he would stand a chance against an 8 foot 1 man who is much bigger and Healthier than him.

Dawkins measured 6’3 7/8 at both the combine and senior bowl. Both are early morning but he’s still around 6’3.5” more than likely. I agree Show looks around 6’10 with him

Hi Rob, I guess Big Show needs further downgrade (see this pic)...
Click Here
If Kane and Braun are both around 200 cm, Big Show can’t be more than 207.
Besides in this pic they probably have similar footwear (smart shoes and not wrestling boots).

@Alex I Last got 6’2 flat at 9.30 pm when I was 255lbs and had been playing rugby and on my feet all day. On more physical days (lots of activity, high impact sports) I can manage just over 188. Weirdly my height loss is very drawn out, probably relates to having strong back muscles cause I never measure even 6’2.25 before 6pm

@Chaos: do you sit reclined in any way throughout the day? I ask because I’ve noticed myself closer to 6’4.5 on days when I do. This is usually if I telework though. Maybe worst case 6’4 3/8”. On days I don’t, I’m 6’4.25” typically and can come down lower even if I just sit in an upright chair at a bar. I measured recently after being out with my wife and friends and after sitting versus standing and I was a bit under 6’4.25” surprisingly. It was more like 193.4-193.5 range at most. Other days with no gym or no prolonged standing (30-60 minutes in one place in the afternoon) I’m a smidgeon above 6’4.25 (193.8ish)

@Chaos 6’2.5: yea you’re pattern is a bit different. I know with me it’s 2 hours. With Christian, I think it’s 3 hours for 1/2” loss. Then you have Junior who is taller than me and a smidge taller than Christian at 197 and a bit and he loses at the same rate as me. Yours could be due to having a stronger back. I was very surprised when you mentioned you only come down to 6’2 3/8 some days and 6’2.5 after that many hours. Wonder if also your legs are longer respective to your height than mine (meaning I have a slightly longer torso relative to mine).

Your estimates don’t add up. A guy who is 6’10 out of bed doesn’t only lose 1/8” from morning to afternoon. Most guys in the 6’0-6’5 range lose 1/2” just in 2 hours. This guy is well over 6’5”. And if he’s 6’8 7/8 at night he isn’t 6’10”. He would effectively be 6’9”. I doubt he’s that low though.
They don’t lose height that fast. I’m bang in the middle of that range and it takes me a good 6-7 hours to get from 6’3 to 6’2.5

He is every bit of 6'10 now. During his WCW reign, He was most likely 6'11 to 7'0 depending on posture. We need not to forget he is also an acromeglic giant, so whenever he got his surgery to relapse the Height growth, it mostly likely didn't stop right away.

@Pierre I completely disagree with Paul Wight Being 6'10 peak height. I personally think with all known evidence, that can be proven false.
If Paul Wight was 6'10.75 - 25 peak wouldn't that make Nash 6'7 - 6'8, when he was most definitely along the likes of 6'9 2/3. That would also make Kane a legit 6'4 or 6'5 now.
SEE IF YOU HAD SAID, Paul Wight's afternoon height was 6'8.5 that would be straight believable, but Giants with bad posture such as him would lose 1.5 or 2 inches max. 6'8.5 morning height, and 6'6.5 by the middle of the day would be straight up nonsense.

Taker stands in a terrible posture here.About Taker's size head = Click Here = don't forget Taker's forehead is big.And the measurement of a head when the head is tilting a lot like here will be always easily bigger than measurement with the same head standing straight.Plus Taker wears a scarf on his hairs that advantage the measurement of his head too.
Taker very probably stands a bit closer to the camera here...but not a lot imo and the camera seems to be not particularly low then Taker probably has not a big advantage.Don't know about the shoes.

By considering Lebron open his mouth and has a space between his jaws his head finally here is more 10.75 inches here.And finally by the angle of their heads,logically Lebron's head that is looking down a little bit has a more generous measure in the pic,his chin tilting down .Finally both guys are around same distance to the camera here.

My guess=Kane peak around 6"6.25' now around 6"5.25'
Big Show peak around 6"8.75' now around 6"7.5'

Lebron's head appears 11.25in there, compared to Show's 11.5in head.
Click Here
Means Lebron is closer to the camera, his head is nowhere near 11.5in lol, so that pic is pretty useless to judge their heights.
Here Lebron is like a half a meter closer to the camera, and still appears a good 2in shorter.
Click Here
Click Here
Show is still easily 6'9.5/6'10 range when standing tall. Of course, if you downgrade every celeb who is standing next to him, or post crappy pics (like a certain user does), he is shorter than that.

Rob if you see kane and big show togheter, do you have any idea how big is big show head ?
I think kane head is near 10 inch, big show head seems clearly over an inch longer, but probably not 2. Generally i doubt is much less than 11.5 inch am i right ?
Editor Rob
11.5 could be argued, but sometimes it doesn't seem more than 11.
------------------------------------------
Big Show’s noggin is around 12 inches long. An NBA basketball has a 9.5” diameter. Click Here Even with the ball closer to the camera here, his tilted head is around 11 inches long Click Here Here’s the basketball used Click Here which is obviously not a kid’s or WNBA ball. I have the same game ball series basketball (Adam Silver version) and can confirm the diameter is 9.5”.

A 2.5" or 3" height loss is pretty extreme for a man not yet 50. If that is correct will he be lucky to be even 6'8" by 60?
----------------------------------------
Big Show has lost height from all of the wrestling wear and tear, weightlifting, obesity, advancing age, etc. but IMO more of the height loss is due to his inability or reluctance to stand straight. Big Show tended to bend forward at his waist, even in his mid 20s. Akebono and Giant Haystacks were both over 500 lbs. yet still maintained excellent posture. Straighten up Big Show’s back so he has good posture like them and he probably gains at least one inch

Sheamus appears only 6'1.5 there, he might be a bit overlisted. He generally doesn't look quite tall as listed, struggles to look 6'2 with HHH Click Here

Yeah probably sometimes can look only 11 inch but i never see big show head so small. I mean 11 inch isn’t small, but big show head seems clearly bigger than that. Considering a 10 inch head for kane, big show head seems easily over an inch bigger. Strowman head, who can probably is near 10.5 inch,looks Tiny in comparison
Click Here
And with a 10+ inch range, probably 10.25 inch range undertaker head

It seems at least 11.5 inch

Big Show stand a bit closer to the camera plus wear a hat next to Brian Grant
Here is Brian Grant next to John Mc Enroe in 2009 Click Here Click Here
The difference is a complete head less 2 inches.If Brian's head is 11 inches then he's 9 inches taller than John Mc Enroe

Briant Grant by this comparison is 5"10.5' plus 9 inches if his head is 11 inches = 6"7.5' in 2009.Now in 2021 at almost 50s maybe lost a bit height.

Considering the footwear advantage for kane which is clearly visible in the video and even considering the bad posture for big show, how tall do you think he is here ? In my opinion He seems a good 7ft if he had been fully standing straight

Click Here Fact is Big Show has a better posture than Dion Dawkins in this famous pic(here the entire pic),Plus the camera is very high and so tends to disadvantage the shortest guy.
And if you zoom the shoes Big Show wear curious shoes that are looking something like two times bigger than Dion's shoes(poor flat sneakers)
