Thank you for acknowledging that high heels are oppressive to women.
Ah yes, the perennial question about manly footwear for manly male candidates!
Harken back to 2010, when then-Senate candidate defined the difference between Jane Norton and himself by saying, "She campaigns in high heels while I wear cowboy boots." Well said, coming from a preppie lawyer from the Hudson River Valley.
Or back further to 2006, when the Little Guy (Marc Holtzman) was busted for wearing elevator shoes to compensate for his being vertically challenged. Of course, he did get off that great sobriquet for his opponent, Both Ways Bob.
So, Ron DeSantis needs to add a couple of inches. At least under his feet.
TFG added a couple of inches via shoe lifts to get even close to his claimed height of 6'3". This also gives him his bizarre front-canted pigeon posture.
Q: Have we ever had a President who was shorter than 6'?

Yes, we have. Many of them were shorter than 6': https://potus.com/presidential-facts/presidential-heights/
Maybe he's trying to make high heels manly again. They were originally adopted in France by male aristocrats as a demonstration that they do not do manual labor.

They're still popular among drag queen who, in many ways, resemble French male aristocrats before the Revolution.
You gotta admit, on closer inspection, those are some weird boots.
He should stick to shrimper boots to avoid bunions
I'd like to see DeSanctimonious walk home from a rush party in those boots.
The proportions of those boots look oddly familiar — oh yes, something like these
The "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" was a great song in the early 1970s by the jazz-rock group Traffic. 11 1/2 minutes of bliss!
