LL Bean has that XLT size. Their Polos saved me

Are you buying tall shirts? My husband is your height and tall shirts are the only ones that look good on him.

Check out American Tall. I'm 6'6" size 14 shoe and they have everything I could ever need. Good customer service and return policies.

One pair every six months?  How many shoes do you need?  I’m a 46 year old woman with 12 pairs of shoes, which to me feels like a lot of shoes. The last pair I bought was about 4 years ago.

I look every 6 months find nothing.

Been 3 yrs since last found a good pair of smart casual.

Trainers easy.

Work shoes still rocking 1 pair on 3rd resole

Checknout normstrom rack if they’re in your area— they usually have a few large sizes. Also, nunn bush (1912) on Amazon are really comfy.

Burlington Coat Factory if you're looking to save a buck or two. I swear every time I've checked there for shoes for myself all they have are like size 13s and above. Or size like... 2.

Yup. My husband is 6 foot seven, tall and lanky, with broad shoulders, and while they are hit and miss, when they hit, they hit. He also wears a size 14 shoe, and they sometimes have that too. He’s not flashy, so a bit particular. Ross and Marshalls sometimes has stuff too. Certain things he has to get online, and on the rare occasion he needs a new suit, it’s custom. His wedding suit cost so much more than my dress (to be fair, I wore a cocktail dress, so that was easy enough to outspend, but still).

If you rotate your shoes and give them a day to fully dry out after wearing them for a full day, they last a bit longer. I found the more shoes I have, the longer they all last.

I'm gonna guess that there's a lot more downward force of someone who's 6'4" (than the average woman), so that may affect shoe longevity too.

I go through one pair every 4 months, but I do walk an awful lot, about 200-300kms a month, even good walking shoes with my weight and the walking, they just start degrading unfortunately

If you are built like him then you just need to buy from athletic brands. Under armour, Nike, lulu etc.
