Biggest Feet

The record for the person with the biggest feet in the world is held by an American, called Robert Wadlow. His feet were 47 cm long and he took size 37 shoes! He was 2.74 metres (that's nearly 9 ft) tall when he died in 1940. Whenever he went out for a “Giant” walk, drivers would take their eyes off the road in disbelief and stare in amazement as they passed. You could hear the sound of bangs, crashes and crunches as cars following behind ran into them.
