Eric Kilburn Jr., 16, wears size 23 shoes and has 9.13-inch hands, overcoming challenges with custom footwear.
- Eric Kilburn Jr. has officially set two Guinness World Records for the largest feet and hands on a living teenager.
- Standing at 6 feet 10 inches, Kilburn's feet measure 13.5 inches, and he wears size 23 shoes, far above the average male size of 8.5 to 9.
- Kilburn's hands extend to 9.13 inches, significantly larger than the average 7.4 inches for his age.
- Due to his unique size, Kilburn faced difficulties finding shoes, leading to custom-made pairs costing over $1,500, until brands like Puma, Under Armour, and Reebok stepped in to help.
- Inspired by the support he received, Kilburn and his mother founded the Big Shoe Network to assist others with similar challenges, promoting a message of embracing one's differences.
