Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Menswear experts and others have alleged DeSantis wears lifts in his boots to make him look taller. Videos on TikTok of users giving their own thoughts on DeSantis' boots have garnered millions of views. If it was the beginning of the campaign or if DeSantis held a commanding lead, the attention to DeSantis' footwear would likely be another speed bump in a long campaign. October has come and gone, and with two months to go until the Republican presidential caucuses in Iowa, DeSantis is still miles behind Trump in national polling.
