@LadyDuck I hope they didn't kill cows in one day. I think the local people had shared their stocks to created this giant shoes.

@Marycyaz They had created the giant shoes to show that this particular city produces hand-made shoes in the Philippines.

Why should they make such a large shoe? I think it is a waste of leather, and effort. They can make a stone carving and that will last a long time.

@scheng1 It is a part of having their festival celebration. They don't produce it annually. It is only one pair of shoes.

@TiarasOceanView I think it is really costs an arm and a leg. They are really into this kind of business. The place is the main source of shoes supplying different malls in the Philippines.

I've already took a picture with this shoe several years back. I can hardly believe that shoe to be way too big.

That is certainly a big shoe. I hope they never find anyone to fit it - they'd then have to make a pair for it! :)

Well this is some nice random trivia for the day, would of never know. If there are any giants reading this then you know where to get some shoes. Nice share with the picture as well.
