Rebecca Kilburn has spent years searching for shoes to fit her son, Eric Kilburn, Jr. She and her husband, Eric Kilburn, Sr., are both over 1.82 meters tall. Their two sons are following in their large-footed steps. Their 14-year-old son Eric Jr. is already 2.08 meters tall. Doctors say he is still growing. Eric doesn’t have any health problems. He’s just tall! The teenager has gotten used to people staring at him. He even jokes about carrying a card with answers to frequently-asked questions. For example, no, he doesn’t play basketball, but yes, he does play football.
But ▲ . At a size 23, Eric’s feet are so large. It’s nearly impossible to find shoes that fit him. With no suitable shoes to wear in winter, Eric has suffered from painful foot trouble that required medical treatment six times in the past few years. He even suffered a sports injury because he doesn’t have appropriate shoes to wear while playing football.
Right now, the teenager is wearing a pair of size 22 Nikes that a family friend found at a store. Rebecca rushed to the store to buy all six pairs of the size 22. But a few years later, none of those size 22s fit anymore, and Rebecca has had no luck finding any other shoes that come close to that size.
Rebecca then spoke with a reporter. When the story was published, the Kilburns were flooded with support from both near and far.
