16-year-old American Eric Kilburn got into the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the largest hands and feet among teenagers, setting two records.
How reports Guinness World Records, the size of his limbs significantly exceeds the average adult. Eric wears US size 23 shoes, and the length of his feet is 34.3 cm – much longer than the average adult man. The size of the guy's palm is also impressive – 23.2 cm.
Eric recalls that he noticed in kindergarten that he was much larger than his peers. At school, he had problems buying shoes – wearing standard shoes became almost impossible. He had to wear Crocs (rubber waterproof galoshes) for two years, which had a negative impact on the boy’s health.
Things changed for the better when Puma and Under Armour made special shoes for Eric based on his unique measurements. Now he is an active athlete and plans to join The Big Shoe Network, an initiative created by his mother to help people find plus-size clothing and shoes.
