Under Armour have made their largest pair of shoes ever - and are set to give them to a teenager in the United States.
Eric Kilrburn Jr. hails from Ortonville, Michigan and had been wearing size 22 shoes to fit his feet, but even they were too small. Donning trainers gave him painful blisters and ingrown toenails given the average American male wears size 10.5 shoes, so mother Rebecca recently reached out and called for help to find the right sized shoes.
Under Armour quickly responded and is now set to gift the 14-year-old - who stands at 6ft 10in and has larger feet than NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal - with a pair of custom trainers. Eric and his family met with Under Armour’s senior director of Footwear Development, Robb Cropp, on March 26.
