Did john Wayne have small feet?

"He wore size 12 shoes and was 6 foot 4, so I guess about average size."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry, but from what my own eyes tell me, there is just NO WAY this can be true.

Lauren Bacall, who worked with him on two films, stated unequivocally (2005 episode of TCM's, "Private Screenings" interview show) that he had "small" feet (though she doesn't elaborate on what, exactly, she considers "small").

Never having heard this before, I searched the internet, and came across a number of photos on www.flickr.com (search "John Wayne feet"), of people comparing their foot size with that of the shoe impression he left in a slab of concrete at Grauman's Chinese Theatre back in 1950

Though most of the people in those shots don't mention the size of their feet, there is at least one person (wearing size 13 brown boots) who does, which can be seen here:

Though that person's foot is in a boot, which probably makes it look a bit bigger than it really is, it CLEARLY dwarfs the imprint left behind by Mr. Wayne.

Based on this, I would guess that John Wayne PROBABLY had a shoe size smaller than size 10......but that's just my opinion.
