Finding a shoe that fits the feet of America's tallest man, Igor Vovkovinskiy, is becoming a difficult and expensive task.
Mr Vovkovinskiy stands at nearly 8 feet tall (over 2.3 metres) and there are currently no shoe sizes on the market that would fit his feet.
Seven years ago, when Mr Vovkovinskiy was 22, a German cobbler made him 3 pairs of size 26 shoes.
Today, he is down to the last pair of shoes and the treads are worn.
Dozens of surgeries has left him with enough pain that he moves using a motorized wheelchair.
A college student, Mr Vovkovinskiy is unable to afford the $15,000 estimated cost of new shoes, and has turned to the internet to collect donations.
