Well Rich, you were close. I wear a size 13, D-width or larger. I've even had to buy certain brands of shoes in a 14.

Well there you go Ralph. I wear size 7EEE so theres more space between the bottom of the door and my shoes for me
. Also, we never wear shoes in the house to keep the off white carpet clean.

Yeah Dan, that myth about shoe size doesn't apply to me, I'm afraid. At least not in the way one might imagine a size 13 or 14 foot would. Above average, yes, monstrous, sorry to disappoint but no.
Big Foot!!!
Here's a ready solution: Get a vintage 1940's-early 50's fridge. Most have the door raised at least six inches above floor level.
PS-I just tested the circa 2003 KA fridge on my patio. The door will hit my slippered foot befoe it hits my leg. Not the toe, but the slippers are about 1/16" above ground level so that's a factor.
I always step to the side of the door before opening it. Perhaps Ralph could do that, unless there's some kitchen arrangement that would make that impossible.

Rich, that's exactly my beef -- that I'd have to train myself to step aside. Not happening. Dealing with those low-clearance refrigerator doors annoys me no end.
And I have news for you: My '52 Kelvinator's door is full length (height?). The un-refrigerated tilt-out vegetable bin that's commonly found at the bottom of most vintage Kelvinators is inside the cabinet on mine. But the door's edge is still high enough to clear my shoe, so it's all good.

Well, Ralph, I'm sure for a small fee you could find someone to train you to toe the line, so to speak.

Interesting. I wear 10.5 EEEEE (no regular shoe store for me!) and I've never owned a refrigerator with a door that hit my feet. But now that I think about it, I think all my refrigerators have vented in the front.
Yeah, the shoe size theory...... I don't know if/how width factors into it..... But all the percentile tables tell me I match my ~85th percentile height.

Wearing your SHOES there?!
Yuk, who wears something you walk out on the streets and in public buildings and public restrooms in front of something or somewhere (your kitchen) where you are going to eat whatever falls on the floor and want that floor to stay clean enough that you can do that?!

Who eats stuff that falls on the kitchen floor?
Or, at least, who would admit that they did?

I have 4 indoor cats...I don't eat stuff that falls on the floor.
I have 2 basset hounds
who patrol the kitchen waiting for said items to fall on the floor and you never get a chance to pick it up lol
Besides my floor is mopped regularly with a bleach solution so most likely less to worry about on my floor than some work surfaces I have seen ....

I just really meant my statement in being a general rule never to wear anything in such a crucial area that's been worn on surfaces that I would never want to eat off of...

Dave,
this thread jarred my memory of the early 80's. Do you recall the local channel 62 tv commerical for "Numark" pest spray? It aired during the afternoon dance show "The Scene" when the "snake" line dance was popular.
Two gal's were on the phone and one said, "girl, I was over ta their house, and they was everywhere!! She uesed the actual pest name though.
