From the historic period of fourteen, Rodríguez Hernandez had shoes made out of textile material that simply lasted two to three weeks, forcing him to go barefoot at times. "These are the sorts of things I would go through. I would look at other people and say, 'How I would like a piffling pair of shoes'," he said in an interview with "NowThis."

In school, Rodríguez Hernandez had to face up exact and physical bullying because of his feet and used to come home traumatized by the discrimination. He underwent medical scans that determined he suffered from an overactive pituitary that produced the excess growth.

Rodríguez Hernandez'south shoes were made by a German language shoemaker who specializes in making shoes for irregular sizes and who also presented his measurements to the competition. Representatives of the Guinness World Records traveled to Venezuela to come across Rodríguez Hernandez.
