As Brahim Takioullah strolls through downtown Paris, people gasp, stare, take his picture and ask: "Are you the tallest man in the world?'' He's not, not quite, but he does have the biggest pair of feet on the planet - and that's official. Judges from Guinness World Records came to France to measure him and confirmed his suspicion that he had record-breaking feet - his left measuring 38.1cm in length and his right, 37.4cm. Morocco's Brahim Takioullah has the largest feet of the world according to the Guinness Book of Records (Photo: AFP)Even getting a pair of shoes stretches his budget - he takes a European size 58, which no shop has ever stocked. "I always need them made-to-measure and they're very expensive. I once asked a cobbler to make me some shoes and he said it would cost 3500 euros ($4851),'' he sighed. He recently met with an orthopedic podiatrist to be fitted with a specially made pair of shoes designed to support his huge weight.Source: Herarld Sun [10/10/11]
