The man the biggest feet of all time is Robert Wadlow, who is also the tallest man, and the man with the biggest hands. The living man with the biggest feet is Matthew McGory. At least, I think he is.

Sadly, the actor Matthew McGrory, whose 18 inch feet were only 1/2 inch shorter than Mr Wadlow's, died last month aged 32.
