Rebecca Kilburn of Michigan looks around the world desperately to find someone who will make US size 23 shoes (foot 38-40 cm) for her son at an affordable price. Reported by USA Today.
14-year-old Eric Kilburn has health problems because he can’t find the right shoe size for him. This student is 208 cm tall and had to undergo six painful toe surgeries to correct ingrown toenails. As a result, he had to constantly remove nails from his big toes.
The publication states that Eric, who played on the junior varsity football team this fall, sprained his ankle. If he had been wearing cleats instead of sneakers, this wouldn’t have happened. For five years, the boy did not have sneakers or warm boots for the winter in Michigan.

According to the mother, at the birth of the child, the obstetrician turned to his father, Eric Sr., and said that the newborn had the largest legs he had ever seen.

Rebecca has spent countless hours over the past year searching the internet and searching for shoe companies and independent shoemakers like Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Under Armor and Red Wing Shoes. It is often said that they do not make shoes in this size.
A Nike spokesperson told Rebecca that the company would only produce shoes for her son if he became a professional athlete. The teenager dreams of playing in the National Football League (NFL), but his mother is still furious at the response.
The woman found a company in Italy that could help. She will cast her son’s feet and send it abroad, but she doesn’t know how much it will cost yet.
