Chen Mingzhi, a shoe designer, sits inside of his handmade 1.9 metre-long (6.23 foot-long) right shoe at his family store in Wenling, Zhejiang province September 27, 2012. Chen, new to the business of shoe-making, was challenged by a neighbour to create a big shoe. The leather right shoe weighs 38 kg (83.8 pounds) and took him two months to make at a cost of 2,000 rmb ($317.30). REUTERS/Carlos Barria
