Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick can’t seem to fit his foot into a pair of Gucci shoes.

“I can’t fit ‘em,” Kilpatrick told the court  when questioned about his lavish spending, yet not having enough money to pay back the City of Detroit $1-million in restitution.

At question is a $595 charge for a Gucci product.

“You didn’t buy any Gucci shoes?” the prosecuting attorney asked while Kilpatrick explained himself on the witness stand.

“I didn’t buy any Gucci shoes,” Kilpatick responded.

Had Mr. Kilpatrick stopped in to see me, I could have created a CUSTOM pair of shoes for him that WOULD FIT for under $300.  Gucci shoes are not deep enough in the toe box to accommodate his foot.  With our custom made to order dress shoes, we measure foot girth as well as heel to toe and heel to ball length.  It all comes down to proper fit and style.

So, it’s no wonder Mr. Kilpatrick couldn’t fit in a pair of Gucci shoes.  But Mr. Kilpatrick, next time you’re in town, stop by and see me for a free measurement and foot assessment.  Your feet and wallet will thank you!
