Shaquille O’Neal boasts a huge 7ft 1” frame, massive even by NBA standards. To go along with it, he weighed well over 300 lbs(136 kgs) during his career. Any athlete playing basketball under these conditions is unlikely to have great-looking feet.

And sure enough, Shaq’s feet are infamous for looking awful. However, the big man recently decided to get his feet done. But the pedicurist’s reaction was so intense, that the Lakers legend couldn’t help but post it on his Instagram.
Shaquille O’Neal’s feet, as you might expect, are massive too. He wears a size 22 shoe, and shoes that fit him aren’t easy to find. So, as the big man once admitted, he usually buys ‘TOMS’ shoes in bulk just to make sure he has something to wear on his feet.
While dealing with those big feet, O’Neal’s pedicurist recently roasted him, before reconsidering her career choice.

This isn’t the first time Shaquille O’Neal has taken his feet to be pedicured. No, there were occasions before when the big man tried it. But while his feet did improve in appearance a little bit, the end result was still a bit sketchy, to say the least. Take a look at them (if you dare) in this YouTube clip by Sportynetwork.
However, Shaq has never been the type of man to give up. So, he tried again. And his Instagram post caused his pedicurist to change her line of work immediately.
“I don’t want your money. Your feet stink and these are the worst feet I’ve ever worked on. I quit,” blurted out the pedicurist while trying to paint his toenails. She could barely contain both her laughter and her gagging during the process.

To be fair to O’Neal here, these were the feet he was born with. And more importantly, these are also the feet that gave him a career in the NBA that most can only dream of. Of course, they’re a bit weathered.
Still, it’s hard not to feel for the woman.
O’Neal is not ashamed of his feet whatsoever
Shaq’s most distinct line of work now is his job as an analyst on Inside the NBA. And on the nationally aired show, the big man is known to pull all the shenanigans he can imagine.
However, on one occasion, he decided that showing off his feet was a good idea. And so, he pulled his shoes and socks right off to display one of them to the world. This resulted in memes, gag reflexes, and an apology from his son too. Read all the details here.
