Tanya Herbert, residing in Houston, Texas, has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the woman with the largest feet currently living.
From a young age, Tanya Herbert exhibited a remarkable height, similar to her parents. At birth, she measured about 61 cm and weighed over 5.4 kg. Now, at the age of 38, she stands approximately 2.05 meters tall, according to the Houston Chronicle.

However, this week, instead of looking up to Herbert, people are paying attention to her feet.
Herbert has recently been acknowledged by the Guinness World Records as the woman with the largest feet currently living.
Herbert’s right foot measures 33.1 cm, while her left foot measures 32.5 cm.
“I am tall and have big feet,” Herbert stated, affirming that aside from that, she lives a completely normal life.
“I know many tall women say they hate being tall, but I have never felt that way,” she added.
When Herbert was born, her father, David Herbert, noted that compared to other children, his daughter looked like a 3-year-old.
For most of her life, Herbert could only wear men’s shoes as they were the only type that fit her, according to Guinness World Records.
However, everything changed with the advancement of social media. Through social platforms, she was able to connect with other women facing similar issues and sought ways to create her own line of women’s shoes.
In a video recorded by Herbert during a pedicure, many commenters suggested she check if her feet qualified for a world record. After hearing this, she submitted her application in April.
Herbert received her certificate on November 16. Additionally, she learned that her height is only a few centimeters shorter than the tallest woman in the world.
