The homeless guy put the shoes on...
...so they obviously 'fitted' him (well enough, anyway). They may have been a half- or even a size too big, but hey! who'd mind that, compared to walking around shoeless?
If the homeless man's feet had been too big for the shoes I reckon the outcome would have been the same: he'd still have run after the 'blond dude' and given him a hug of gratitude, but insisting that he keep his shoes. Then the blond guy would probably have proffered money instead, but what he did in the first instance was a spontaneous gesture - and they are definitely the best kind of all!
