Eric Kilburn Jr., a 16-year-old from Michigan, USA, has set two Guinness World Records for having the largest feet and hands of a living teenager.

Standing at 2.08 meters tall, Kilburn’s feet measure 34.3 cm, and his hands measure 23.2 cm, surpassing the average size for his age.

From a young age, Eric faced challenges because of his size, especially when he struggled to find suitable shoes in stores, resulting in health issues like blisters and ingrown toenails.

After his story gained attention, brands like Under Armour and Reebok, with the help of Shaquille O’Neal, provided him with custom shoes, allowing him to participate in sports activities.

Inspired by the help he received, Eric and his mother created the Big Shoe Network, a nonprofit organization that supports people struggling to find clothing and footwear in larger sizes. He wants to encourage others to embrace their differences and not let negativity hinder their goals.
