Liz Sanya, the British-Nigerian shoe designer, has completed her attempt to set a Guinness World Record (GWR) for the “world’s largest sandal”.
The massive pink clog measures 8.147 metres (26 feet 8.8 inches) in length and 3.156 metres (10ft 4.2 inches) in width.
Sanya began designing the sandal on January 2. She completed it within 72 hours, on January 4.
The event took place at Pixel Park in Lekki, Lagos, and was attended by several celebrities, including Mayorkun, Pheelz, P.Prime, and Korty EO.
Speaking about the attempt, Sanya revealed that she started designing shoes at the age of 12 and began selling them at 14 to fund her passion.
She also expressed her gratitude to those who supported her. She also said she chose to attempt the record in Nigeria due to her connection to the country.

“I’ll never be able to put into words what any of this means to me, I started designing shoes when I was 12 and by 14 I was selling them to fund a ‘habit’ I couldn’t afford,” she said.
“None of this has been possible without the support and compassion of the people who see me and believe in my vision.
“Ibadan… where I was born. Lagos where I was inspired. It was only right to come back home and prove it. 1 world record to beat, within 72hrs.”
Sanya’s feat is subjected to verification and confirmation by the Guinness World Records.
A group of artisans from Municipio De Sahauyo holds the current record for the world’s largest sandal. Their sandal measures 7.45 metres (24 feet 5.31 inches) long and 3.09 metres (10 feet 1.65 inches) wide.
