Born in Alton, Illinois on February 22, 1918 … Robert Wadlow looked just like any other baby.
However, by the age of one, he was over 3 feet tall, and … by his eighth birthday – nearly twice that!
At 13 years-old, Robert was the tallest Boy Scout in the world … at 7 feet, 4 inches.
In 1936, he joined a traveling circus … drawing massive crowds.
In 1938, he became the spokesman for a shoe company and as a perk, he received free shoes (size 37AA). (In comparison … Shaquille O’Neal’s shoe size is 23)
Due to his extreme height … Robert suffered with a lack of feeling in his legs.
Refusing to use a wheelchair, he chose to wear special braces to help him walk.
Tragically, at the age of 22 … one of the braces caused a blister which Robert didn’t notice (due to the lack of feeling in his legs).
This blister eventually led to an infection … and ultimately … to the premature death of the gentle, ‘Alton Giant’.
Robert’s last recorded measurement (18 days prior to his passing) was 8 feet, 11.1 inches!
