Tallest Man In The U.S.to Receive a Pair of $20K Reeboks

Being the tallest man in the United States is no small task for Igor Vovkovinskiy. For years, he has endured sore feet as he could not find shoes appropriate for his large demeanor, however, Reebok has offered to lend a helping hand.

Vovkovinskiy is 29 and 7 feet 8 inches tall. Initially, experts believe his shoes size is anywhere between a 22 and a 25. That is a shoe size that cannot be found easily. The average shoes size for a male is about a 10. For several years, Igor wore orthotic shoes that lacked proper arch support and grips.

Vokkovinskiy's shoe problems have left the Ukraine native with many foot problems, requiring him to get at least 16 surgeries. The surgeries forced him to bed rest, during which time his muscles weakened and he gained weight.

Reebok, has reached out to Vovkovinskiy, who began raising money through a social media campaign.

The shoe designers at Reebok decided to custom design and donate a pair of shoes that will be size 26. and run around $12,000 to $20,000 for Igor. It will take the company about six weeks to create the shoes and for Vovkovinskiy to test them out.
