World's Tallest Man

Robert Wadlow’s height of 8’ 11.1” qualifies him as the tallest person in history, as recorded in the
Guinness Book of World Records.

At the time of his death he weighed 490 pounds. His clothing required three times the normal amount of cloth, and his size 37 shoes cost $100.00 a pair (a lot of money back in the 1930’s).
Two years later his shoes were provided free by the International Shoe Company. When he turned 20 Robert traveled for the shoe company, visiting over 800 towns and 41 states. His father had to modify the family car, removing the front passenger seat so Robert could sit in the back and stretch out his long legs.
