Tanya Herbert, a Houston woman in the United States, recently broke a Guinness World Record with a length of 13.03 inches (about 33 cm) on the sole of her right foot and 12.79 inches (about 32 cm) in the sole of her left foot, becoming the "world's longest foot woman"; With such a huge sole, she can only buy shoes through the Internet, and must choose American size 18 women's shoes, or 16~17 men's shoes, even if it is inevitable to look at it differently, but she is still optimistic.
The Daily Mail reported that Tanya is 205 centimeters tall, only 10 centimeters shorter than the world's tallest woman, Turkish Rumeysa Gelgi, and her outstanding height also makes her feet larger than her age, even in high school to today's size. She said that she usually only wears men's shoes, and if she wants to buy women's shoes, she can only buy them online, but it is also extremely difficult and sometimes she can only make custom-made.
Fortunately, Tanya has never felt inferior to her "big feet", "My parents gave me very healthy self-esteem when I was growing up, and my friends cared about me very much and made sure I was loved and liked." But she also said that the only thing she hated was the physical education teacher at school, who always wanted her to pursue a career in basketball or sports, but she preferred static academic research to sweat on the court.
Tanya also makes good use of social platforms to interact with people who also have "big feet" and teach them how to adjust their shoes to better match the shape of their feet; She hopes her story will lead to a wider range of sizes for shoe companies, as well as customizable and affordable options.
The world's longest male foot is currently held by Venezuelan man Jeison Orlando Rodriguez Hernandez, whose feet are 40 centimeters long and must wear size 26 men's shoes in size 26.
