The tallest man in the United States, Igor Vovkovinskiy, traveled from Minneapolis to Massachusetts on Thursday for a custom shoe-fitting with Reebok that he hopes will help him live a normal life.
Vovkovienskiy is seen having imprints taken of his foot by technicians at Reebok headquarters, in Canton, Mass., Thursday, May 3, 2012.
"I haven't been able to go for a joyful walk for six years now," he said. "I look forward to just going for a walk with my dog, just walking around the neighborhood."
