Tom Boddingham became the owner of the worlds biggest slipper after going online to order a pair of gorilla style slippers; he was in a bit of shock when his slippers arrived!\n

Tom had thought he had requested a size 13 for his right foot, and a size 14.5 for his left.\n

However, it turns out that he accidentally forgot to add the decimal point.\n

And due to a miss translation error, a zero was added to the end.\n

The factory that produces these slippers thought it was a little weird making a size 1450 slipper, but assumed that it must be for a window display.\n

Above is an image of Tom sitting inside his slipper, the size of a small car.\n

When asked what he would do with the worlds biggest slipper, he replied saying he’d probably sell it on eBay.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

There\u2019s a world\u2019s biggest record for everything and the World\u2019s Biggest Slipper is just one of them. How the owner acquired this slipper is somewhat of a funny story.
