The unusual gifts were first reported this week in The Wall Street Journal, which said Trump had given out pairs of Florsheim shoes worth US$145 — at times even guessing people’s shoe size in front of them.“What I do is, is somebody that for many many years has walked around in shoes that were no good, and would not be that comfortable,” said the 79-year-old Republican. “So I have fun with it. When they tell me they have a problem, I say, ‘Let me get you a pair of shoes.’ It seems to work out pretty well. Now they look all spiffy and nice. It’s a gift from Donald Trump.”Those wearing the shoes include Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, The Wall Street Journal said.The model on the Florsheim website that most closely resembles those in the photographs is a leather dress shoe made in China, sold for US$145 a pair. — AFP
