To Who this may concern.

I first met Elvis when i was with a group called the Foggy Mountain River Boys. Elvis and i met again when Elvis was going to Germany for the army. Elvis was my good friend and i lived at Graceland in a converted apartment Elvis made for me and lived there until his passing in 1977. I was Elvis' stage director and sang harmony on stage with him and handed Elvis his scarves. I also helped him with the set lists for the shows. I also appeared as an extra in many films.

Florsheim is a USA brand started in 1892. The size is a USA size.

In 1892, Milton Florsheim began producing shoes in a small factory located in Chicago, Illinois. The first pairs of Florsheim shoes made by Milton and his father, Sigmund, were a remarkable combination of style, comfort and high quality workmanship.

Elvis would also wear European-Italian and Spanish boots and the sizing would be a different lower size as they were made and sized to the European specification which has a different system in sizing than the North American sizing system.

According to Joe Esposito Elvis would wear size 11 1/2 D - 13 D stage boots depending on shoe and foot swelling. (We have a copy of a letter from Joe confirming this.)
