Guinness Book of Records: The young man with the largest limbs has been named
A 16-year-old boy with giant limbs complained about the difficulties he faces in everyday life due to his non-standard size. He spoke about his problems told representatives of the Guinness Book of Records.
Eric Kilburn Jr. from the American state of Michigan was named the boy with the largest hands and feet. His foot is 34.3 centimeters long, and his palm is 23.2 centimeters. It is noted that the average palm length for teenagers is 19 centimeters.
According to Kilburn Jr., he began to notice his unusualness back in kindergarten. Even then, he was much larger than his peers. Soon, he began to have problems buying shoes and gloves. He has to have custom-made shoes and spend $1,500 (139 thousand rubles) on one pair.
So far, the young man has only managed to get the shoes he needs from famous brands thanks to his popularity. He hopes that his record will attract the attention of shoe companies to people like him, and that stores will start to stock larger sizes.
