'I have world's biggest size 18 feet – creeps want pics and make vile requests'
A woman who holds the world record for the biggest feet at 13 inches says is inundated with creepy messages from men begging her for pictures of her trotters.
Tanya Herbert, 38, who is a social media specialist, was handed the title of the world's biggest female feet in 2022 by Guinness World Record.
Her right foot measures a whopping 13.03 inches while her left is slightly shorter at 12.79 inches.
Being a size 18 in shoe size has caused Tanya various issues, the biggest being that she can never find shoes in her size and has even taken to raising funds on GoFundMe to afford new shoes.

"I have received many comments about my feet and selling pictures of my feet," said Tanya, from Texas, US.
Comments on Tanya’s social media posts include some rather unsavoury requests.
One user said: "Holy c***, I would love to suck those."
"You need a good tickling don’t you?" said another admirer.
Someone else said: "I love your big feet."
"I would have so much fun with these," another user commented.
Someone else added: "Oh my, wish I can smell them so bad."
But Tanya isn't always comfortable with the attention her feet receive.

"So the weird comments that I do receive, I ignore them."

One thing Tanya can't ignore, however, are the other tribulations that have come with having such large feet.
The 6ft 9ins woman said: "I remember in high school wearing size 16 men's shoes and tennis shoes as they were the only thing available for me to wear.
"The size of my feet has affected me going shoe shopping with my friends because I know I will never find anything for me in stores.
"I have gone on a shoe-finding journey to find feminine shoes but it has been very difficult to find shoes with the shoe manufacturers.
"I have been able to find three companies that are working with me to create shoes for my size.
"Each of these companies has specially created me shoes and I am building my shoe collection to match my girly personality."
However, having custom shoes made does not come cheap, which is why Tanya has set up a GoFundMe page.
She hopes that with financial support, she can continue her ‘journey’.
Despite the obstacles Tanya faces with having the world's biggest feet, she says it is just a normal part of her life.
She added: "I don't remember always having big feet, because I am tall, so everything about me was bigger than everyone else.
"It was a normal part of life.
"When I found out I had the largest feet in the world for a living female, I thought it was awesome.
"Something that is so natural for me I am getting recognised for, so it has been a fun and exciting journey sharing my story with others."
