AMEN!  I'm 6'3" with size 14's and let's just say I have a typical ham radio physique!
I went with 45G for my 70 footer for a few good reasons, this being number one.  If
my huge carcass is going to be working at that level for that long, I want something
REALLY strong under me.  I knew my feet didn't fit in 25G so my ability to work up there
for long hours was zilch.  Thank God I made that choice!  I've spent a LOT of time at
the top.
