Hey! New to this site! :) This problem has been bugging me for quite sometime and I just have to ask the experts on here what they think!

Im male, 5 feet 6 and 1/2 inches tall (5'6.5). My feet measures approximately 9.95 inches from heel to toe, so that puts me either in US size 7.5 or 8. So my question is, are my feet too long for my height? I recently bought an oxford, size 8, which measures (by ruler) 12.67 inches long or roughly 18.7% my total height.

So my question is, is the shoe or size too long for me? Such that I will look like a clown when I wear it with slim pants? :(

Regards. :)

point of clarification: do the size 8 oxfords look anything like this? -

Step 1) Go to a decent shoe store and get your feet sized by someone who knows what they are doing.
Step 2) Find shoes you like that fit the style of your clothes
Step 3) Buy the shoes you like

If you stay away from those square toed shoes that look like you escaped from the genie training camp, you should be fine.
