Eric Kilburn Jr., a 16-year-old from Michigan, has made history by earning the Guinness World Record for the largest hands and feet on a living teenager. Featured in the Guinness World Records 2025 book, Eric’s feet measure 34.30 cm (13.50 in), and his hands are 23.20 cm (9.13 in) long.
Eric, who has always been larger than his peers, was noted by his delivery doctor for his unusually large hands and feet right from birth. Despite these unique traits, Eric emphasizes self-acceptance and encourages others to embrace their differences. His American shoe size of 23 (22 UK) is significantly above the average adult male size, highlighting his exceptional growth.
While the exact cause of Eric’s growth spurt is unclear, factors like genetics, fetal development, and maternal health can contribute to unusual hand and foot sizes. Certain medical conditions, such as Sotos syndrome or pituitary gigantism, can also lead to such traits, but Eric has no underlying health issues.
Eric enjoys spending time with family, playing sports, and video games. He hopes to inspire others who may feel out of place due to their unique features, promoting a message of self-acceptance and resilience.
