Trump's favorite shoe brand Florsheim is suing him

  • On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was photographed wearing Florsheim oxfords about two sizes too large after The Wall Street Journal's Monday report on President Donald Trump's shoe obsession.
  • According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump told Rubio and Vance 'Marco, JD, you guys have shitty shoes' during a December Oval Office meeting and ordered $145 Florsheim pairs, often guessing sizes.
  • Menswear writer Derek Guy shared a January photo of Rubio embracing Chuck Schumer where his shoes look excessively large, and additional photos from a Mar-a-Lago wedding and a State Department meeting show a visible heel gap and slipping at the back.
  • The images went viral, and social media users mocked Rubio after The Wall Street Journal report, while White House staffers said it's "hysterical because everybody's afraid not to wear them."
  • The Wall Street Journal reported Trump has handed out Florsheim pairs to many aides, including Rubio, Vance, Hegseth, Duffy, and Carlson, with some receiving multiple pairs.
