GWR mentions that Ms Herbert is 6 feet 9 inches tall and has always been taller and larger than her peers. "By high school her feet had reached the record-breaking size they are today," their official website states.
Speaking to GWR, Ms Herbert said, "Growing up I was always the tallest around. My mom was 6 ft 5 in and my dad is 6 ft 4 in so I had no choice but to be tall." She said that she didn't think of being taller as a bad thing since her parents gave her a very healthy self-esteem.
"I never remember getting bullied or anything like that for my height. My friends actually took great care of me to make sure I was loved and liked," she continued.
