So, Foot Locker At The Mall Was All Out Of Your Size, Eh?

America's Tallest Man is 7'8", a Ukranian immigrant who grew due to a tumor in his pituitary gland. And he's in college now, and has a particular problem: he can't find a pair of shoes that fit. His feet are so big, he doesn't even know their size, because after several surgeries they're misshapen (and each is different from the other). Reebok can make a custom pair, but it'll cost -- ready? -- $15,000. And he doesn't have $15,000. He's trying to raise money through a web page, and for his sake I hope he gets enough for a few pairs. Imagine not being able to get shoes for yourself. (WCCO-TV/Minneapolis)
