The Famous Men - How big is their shoe size?
Posted by Sarthak Yadav on November 18th, 2016
It happens a good many times that you go out to buy shoes only to return home disappointed. And if you are having a really bad day, you’ll end up selecting a pair of shoes online only to see ‘Out of Stock’ appear in front of your eyes to add to your dejection.
Either the shoes you wanted were not available in the required size, or a similar concern, your size did not have a lot of good options. This got us thinking; do famous people also face similar issues? They could of course get shoes custom made for their sizes, but what if they couldn’t? One thought led to another, and here we have, after a few hours of inquisitive searching, a list of four famous men and their shoe sizes; compiled especially for the innately curious.
The Great Khali
The man stands at a whopping height of 7 feet and 1 inch and weighs about 157 kg. A religious wrestler who avoids meat and poultry, the Great Khali must surely face some trouble in finding shoes that fit; leaving no option but special shoes to be made, Khali’s shoes stand at a size of 22.
Shaquille O’Neal
The well-known NBA player, more popularly known as Shaq is also 7 feet and 1 inch tall, weighing about 147 kg. Shaq too sports a 22 size shoe. The 22 sized shoe is not just restricted to the height of & feet and 1, for NBA player Bob Lannister (not to be confused with the Game of Thrones) too sports a size 22 shoe.
LeBron James
Another rather well-known NBA player, LeBron James, winner of 3 NBA championships, one of the players whose prowess is stolen in Space Jam, is a proud purchaser of size 15 shoes. Obviously it is not the biggest shoe size in the list, but a famous name to add to the trivia, and we bet the aliens in Space Jam also had to look for some size 15 shoes once they became taller.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
This is not exactly the thing that pops up in daily conversation, but again a tidbit for the curious minds, Dwayne Johnson looks out for size 14 shoes!
Bonus: Channing Tatum
If an actor could claim appeal in men as well as women, it would be Channing Tatum, and that is why we’re including him as a bonus for this list. Tatum has starred in a number of movies like “She’s the Man” and “21 Jump Street” with his 10.5 sized shoes!
Sometimes it’s fun to read and write about things without any real consequences except for the satisfaction of some weirdly curious questions. Do these shoe sizes help you in any way? Not really, except it is fascinating trivia to flaunt when the moment beckons.
