These are the largest feet in the world
At a whopping size 18, Jeison Rodriguez from Venezuela officially has the largest feet in the world
Jeison Rodriguez, a 20-year-old man from Venezuela, has been officially recognised as having the largest feet in the world.
Jeison's feet come in at a huge size 18 in UK sizes (59 if you shop European), which is even larger than the feet of the world's tallest man.
In the video above Jeison describes how after turning 14, locals had to make his shoes out of trouser material. As this lasted only two to three weeks at a time however, Jeison often went barefoot.
Jeison began growing at an alarming rate after turning 10-years-old, forcing his parents to seek medical attention.
Doctors established that an overactive pituitary was to blame, causing him to reach a current height of 7ft 3in.
At one point his feet grew from size 5.5 to 11 in just one year.
Guinness World Records were first alerted to Jeison's enormous feet after a German specialist shoemaker, George Wessels, went to see if he could help. Wessels introduced Jeison to the record makers after making him a pair of shoes.
After being bullied for his abnormal size, Jeison now hopes to help people suffering from depression.
