    Robert's Wadlow's shoe should be put on display at the museum

    1 to 2 thousand dollars for Robert Wadlow's shoe? Gotta be worth more than that.

      It wasn't his last shoe. He still had a foot to grow so it wasn't the biggest one. That pair would probably be worth much more maybe 10k each or more.

    Robert's cause of death was sepsis, caused by the ill-fitting brace which he unfortunately could not feel.
    Today, he would be cured by a course of antibiotics (perhaps both IV and oral), and medical treatment could help with his out-of-control pituitary issues, to finally stop his uncontrollable growth. Such a shame those options didn't exist in 1940.... 🙁🙏
