Pair World Records

Nathan Breuer balled up 10 pairs of socks in 7.81 seconds.

Pavol Durdik sorted 21 pairs of socks in 30 seconds.

Suresh Gaur bounced a tennis ball on a pair of scissors 968 times.

Samuel Jr. stacked 23 pairs of shoes in a tower.

Led by Jeff Tomlinson, 32 pairs of students joined together for a 64-person piggyback group hug.

Richard Wilson of Sutton, England, juggled three balled-up pairs of socks for 3 minutes, 40 seconds without getting up from his chair. The video is one continuous, uncut take filmed at home: he starts his cascade about 21 seconds in and keeps all three pairs moving until the run ends just past the four-minute mark, a span that matches his claimed time. Socks are soft and light, with none of the bounce of a juggling ball, so a long seated pattern takes patience as well as rhythm.

Kathryn Minshew and Elise Metzger switched their shoes with each other in 5.28 seconds. The record was set during the 2012 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. #TheDailyRecords

Doug McManaman balanced a pair of eyeglasses on his face for three minutes, 51.16 seconds.

Josh Graber jumped into a pair of jeans in 3.28 seconds.
