A Texan who broke the Guinness record for the world’s largest feet in November 2022 must learn to deal with the podophiles who invade her social networks.
“I’ve received several comments about my feet and the sale of the photos of my feet,” says Tanya Herbert, 39.
The Houston woman has traveled the world after breaking the Guinness World Record for largest feet. His right foot is 13.03 inches long and his left foot is 12.79 inches long. She is required to wear size 18 shoes, breaking the previous record held by Britain’s Julie Fetlon, who wore size 16 shoes.
“I was amazed when I found out that I’m the woman with the biggest feet,” says Ms. Herbert, who documents her everyday life on Instagram.
The woman, who is 6 feet 9 inches tall, had never realized she had big feet.
“It was so normal for me,” she explains. Everything about me was bigger than the others.”
Target of Fetishists
However, his notoriety has caught the attention of several perverts, who comment on all of his publications.
“Big feet mean more fun,” commented one man.
“Beautiful, are your feet ticklish?” wrote another netizen.
“Oh I would love to smell her!” wrote another man.
“God! I would love to suck them!” continues another.
Tanya Herbert remains frozen in the face of these comments. “As a Christian, I think it’s morally wrong to sell pictures of my feet to gratify the pleasures of others,” she says.
She finds this voyeurism quite disturbing, as she has “never been the object of desire on social networks”.
The shoe desert
“I could never go shopping with my friends because no shoes would take me to the stores,” she says.
She managed to find companies online that offer custom shoes. However, their services are very expensive, which prompted the Texan to create a GoFundMe page.
“I do business with a company in London for my shoes, but the reserve price is around $400,” she pleads.
Her journey has inspired many women going through similar situations. Since she set her record, at least 50 women have contacted her asking where she buys her shoes.
“It was very motivating for me to hear other women say: ‘We have to convince shoe manufacturers to sell nice shoes for big feet!'” she emphasizes.
