    It’s not size 14.

    12.6 inches is roughly size 38 in UK sizes

      Yeah I work in a place that sells shoes and I can tell from the thumbnail image that shoe is much, much bigger than a size 14. Nowhere that sells normal shoes for people to actually wear will sell shoes that big.

        One of my sons wears size 14, despite not being freakishly tall (he’s 6’2" and strongly buit). He usually has to put in a special order. His hands are also massive. We’ve never had a conversation about cock size, though I’m somewhere in the normal range, whereas my wife’s dad was reputed to be a tripod, so it could go either way, or somewhere in-between.
