Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympian of all time, is undoubtedly a legend in swimming. His athletic build, particularly a long torso and strong legs, helped him dominate the competition in the pool. His feet, size 14, which could easily be called "flippers" because of their incredible flexibility, truly helped him push through the pool with speed.
Unlike many celebrities who aim for style in their footwear, Michael's feet are more suited for function than for fashion.
A swimmer for most of his barefoot career, he let his feet do all of the record-breaking for him. He keeps it simple and practical, wearing comfortable sneakers or slide sandals when he does need footwear.
The world of sports scientists and sports fans alike has been intrigued by Phelps' feet. Their irregular size and flexibility helped him become great, demonstrating that natural gifts can sometimes mean the world in realizing success.
