World’s Biggest Boot Using materials and components identical to the 877s worn on jobsites everywhere, our record-setting size 638 boot took 80 leather hides, 245 cubic feet of urethane, 1,200 feet of nylon rope, and 80 lbs. of brass to make. The bootlace is 2 inches in diameter and 104 feet long. The boot is 16 feet tall, 20 feet long and weighs 2,300 lbs. A person would have to be 120 feet tall to be the right fit.
