Finally, big man gets his shoes

Liu Wenzhe, at 2.22 meters tall, tries on his newest sneakers at a factory in a local shoe firm in Xiangyang, Central China's Hubei province, July 20, 2011. The 34-year-old man started to outgrow his peers when he was 17 due to a pituitary tumor, also known as gigantism, which has provided many challenges for him in daily life, including finding a job and shoes that fit. He never had a pair of suitable shoes to wear because of his extra long feet until the shoe company designed a pair of special size 60 sneakers for him. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]
