2. Brahim Takioullah—8’1
Brahim Takioullah isn’t just one of the tallest people in the world; he holds the record for the world’s largest feet on a living person. His feet are over 15 inches in length. Let that sink in for a moment: His feet are each over a foot long in length.
Born in Morocco in 1982, Takioullah was 18 when a school doctor took notice of his abnormal size and suggested he get a blood test. Takioullah was diagnosed with a tumor that altered his pituitary gland, causing increased levels of growth hormone in his body.
Ever since then, Takioullah has faced more than one problem thanks to his extreme height. In order to have his weight supported, he has to wear special orthopaedic shoes, and he is unable to stand up straight in the flat he lives in. He also experiences difficulties riding in cars and taxis.
