Photo: Kentucky Incoming Freshman Karl Towns Wears A Massive, Size 20 Nike Shoe
They're not quite as large as Shaquille O'Neal's, but Karl Towns has some big feet. So large, in fact, that Kentucky basketball had to make a special shoe order for its incoming freshman.
">@UKequipment says the other shoe next to Karl Towns' size 20 in this pic is a 10.5 (what I wear). Ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/5DczK3Kobw

According to Kentucky's equipment staff, the size 20 shoe is the biggest they can ever remember having to order.
Towns, a five-star center from New Jersey, will help try to fill the void left by Julius Randle, who departed from Lexington for the NBA following the 2013-14 season.
