Are the shoes actual shoes, or like, dog booties or something odd?
ReplyDeleteYes, they are actual shoes.
ReplyDeleteHave both the men lost oppisite legs, and are they trying to save money by buying a single pair of shoes?
ReplyDeleteHalfmask, that is one possible answer, and it is very, very close to the answer I have in mind. However, my answer is slightly different. Can you think of a similar scenario where both men have two legs?
ReplyDeleteIs it because he has feet that are two different sizes and he finds someone else who does as well?
ReplyDeleteYes, Skysong, that's the answer I was thinking of (though Halfmask's answer is also a possibility). He had two different sizes of feet, and he found someone else who also had two different sizes, so they could share shoes. Good job.
