A teenage boy with enormous feet has been given the biggest shoes ever made by American company Under Armour. Eric Kilburn Jr, from Clarkston, Michigan, USA may only be 14 but his feet measure in at a gigantic size 22 which is an average size 17 in UK shoes.
The 6ft 10 high school student has struggled for years to find shoes that fit, with those he can just about squeeze into hurting his feet, the Mirror reports. However, his 'life was changed' when sporting brand Under Armour heard about Eric's problem and reached out with an offer to help.
The excited teen jumped at the opportunity to receive his own custom made sneakers and Under Armour's Robb Cropp, senior director of Footwear Development, met with the Kilburn family on March 26. A 3D rendering of Eric's feet was taken at the meeting and a mould was created which would go on to be used to make a pair of shoes 'from the ground up'.
