Donald Trumphas been buying so many of his favouriteshoesfor agency heads, lawmakers,White Houseadvisers and VIPs that they have become the unofficial White House Uniform. “All the boys have them," a female White House official told theWall Street Journal. "It’s hysterical because everybody’s afraid not to wear them."
The brand that has turned the US President's head is not a luxury one, like his expensive Brioni suits, which can cost anywhere between $4,000 and $14,000 (£3,000-£10,400) a piece, but is insteadFlorsheim, which sells some pairs for as little as $49.90 (£37.27). He often speaks about how “incredible” they are and has even taken to guessing people's shoe size in front of them, puts in the order, and a week later it turns up, sometimes with the president’s signature on the box.

This includes one unnamed cabinet secretary, who had to stop wearing hisLouis Vuittonsand don a pair of Florsheims instead. Also among those who have a pair of Trump-approved Florsheims are vice-presidentJD Vance, Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary, defence secretaryPete Hegsethand Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary.
The 79-year-old billionaire's friends, Fox News personality Sean Hannity andSenator Lindsey Graham, also have a pair each.
Mr Vance and Mr Rubio are both said to have been given a pair of Florsheims after a meeting at the Oval Office in December when the president told them they had “s**** shoes”.
“The president kind of leans back in his chair and says: ‘You know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size," Mr Vance said.
It is unclear which exact shoe Mr Trump prefers, but recent photos of him show the president wearing black Oxfords. Among the models that match are the Lexington, which costs $145 (£108). According to the Florsheim website, it “brings together classic dress styles with lightweight comfort”, according toThe Telegraph. Most reviewers gave the shoe four or five stars, though others complained that the quality had gone downhill recently.
