amazing story - America's Tallest Man, Igor Vovkovinskiy, Needs $16K For Shoes

I am 7 feet 8.33 inches tall, and I haven't had a proper fitting pair of shoes for more than 6 years.


It's really hard to believe that a shoe company couldn't come through and sponsor the poor guy. Or that a pro basketball player could't kick down a few bucks for a fellow 7-footer.

Once this goes viral dude will have a closet full of shoes.

If Oprah still did talk shows she'd probably have the tall bastard on too once it picked up traction. Maybe Ellen should do a show with him hah.

An NBA player would never stoop to help a fellow human being. Well, unless they get a giant gold necklace to wear for their effort.

You'd think Shaq would jump on this.

Wow, I thought it was bad finding shoes.

Dude is fucking massive. It sucks that something as simple as buying shoes is near impossible for him. I'm amazed nobody has stepped up to sponsor him as good PR for their company.
