10 Big Things in Texas & How They Got There-MainPhoto
Texas is a huge state and prides itself on being biggest at everything. Courtesy of Toyota, I had the chance to drive around and see some of these big things and find out why they are there. Not all are the “world’s largest,” but I guarantee you’re in for some really BIG surprises.

1. World’s Largest Cowboy Boots
Originally these giant boots were built to fill an empty lot in Washington, D.C. At 40 feet tall and 30 feet long they were promoted as the World’s Largest Cowboy Boots. That is debatable, as the cowboy boots in Seattle are probably bigger. A year later they were moved to their Texas home at a mall in San Antonio, where oddly enough, as far as I could tell there isn’t a shoe store in sight.
