Shaquille O'Neal helped one teen, who shares his struggle of finding the right pair of shoes, get his shoe game tight. 

Atlanta-area teen Zach Keith knows how hard it is to find the perfect pair of shoes. He wears a size 18 and he's only 13 years old. Zach's mother, Brittany Keith, wrote about her troubles shopping for her son on Instagram earlier this month.

After seeing the post, Atlanta news station CBS 46 reached out to the NBA great to help Zach find shoes for any occasion. Shaq was more than happy to help the young basketball player.

Before O'Neal became the Big Diesel, he had issues finding shoes to fit his feet as well. The NBA Hall of Famer now wears a size 22 and can afford custom shoes.

But when the athlete was younger, he had to turn to Bruce Teilhaber, the owner of Friedman's Shoes in Atlanta. Teilhaber gave Shaq a free pair of shoes for prom after the O'Neals revealed they could not afford the $180 shoes.

So the former Lakers great and CBS 46's Sharon Reed teamed up to take Zach to the same store. 

"Like, whoa," the teen told the outlet. "He wants to buy me shoes, out of all people?"

Shaq purchased 10 pairs of size 18 shoes for the budding athlete. 

"This will help a lot," Brittany told CBS 46. "I won't so much have to worry about buying him dress shoes. He hasn't had a pair of dress shoes in about four or five years because its been hard trying to find the ones that actually fit." 

Zach is thankful for Shaq's generosity.

USA Today reports the two intend to keep in touch as the eighth-grader at J.W. Stewart Middle School graduates to Douglas County High School. The teen plans to pursue a basketball career and Shaq wants to serve as a resource for his development. 

In the meantime, the TNT basketball analyst will try his hand at politics by running for sheriff in metro-Atlanta for 2020.
