Franco and Mr BIG Foot - World's Tallest Man finds shoes fit! Big feet rarely provoke a passionate response from any man - leather and rubber, maybe, but not big feet. HUSSEIN BISSARD, who at 7ft 9 inches tall is the world's tallest and biggest man, travelled to Franco's shop in Croydon for a pair of custom-built shoes. Hussein chose this establishment because every pair Franco makes are perfectly fitted to the individual's feet, starting with a mould of each foot and taking into account any special requirements. Franco said "It was such a challenge, making a really big pair of shoes for this guy, that's why I wanted to do it." Franco says, "It must be impossible for someone like Hussein to get shoes." The shoes took Franco 6 months to make and and the finished products were two staggeringly huge size 20s, measuring 15 inches in length and 5 inches across the width of the toe. Mr Bissard was really pleased with his shoes and I am too. Hussein Bissard and Franco Crawford In making these mega masterpieces Franco used a piece of material that was 6ft by 5ft in size.
