So I saw a post that had two pictures side by side–they were of Dean and Cas looking into each other’s eyes and Jensen and Misha looking into each other’s eyes.
That’s a pretty extreme difference in the angle, 11° versus 3°.
We know Cas wears pretty average loafers, so I wondered if they put Dean in heeled boots so that he wouldn’t appear as short next to Sam.
Yep.
Dean wears logging boots, which have about a 1 ½ inch heel on them. They do it in the shoe because it makes it easier to get both Jensen and Jared into the frame, but it’s easy to imagine that Dean favors shoes that give him height so that he doesn’t look short next to Sam.
