A German specialist shoemaker recently delivered new shoes to Jeison Rodriguez Hernandez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan man with the world’s biggest feet. Standing at 7 feet 3 inches tall, Rodriguez Hernandez earned the Guinness World Record distinction in 2015 for having the largest feet. His right foot measures at 15.79 inches and his left foot at 15.5 inches, roughly equivalent to a size 26.
Rodriguez Hernandez suffers from acromegaly, a rare condition caused by excess growth hormone production from the anterior pituitary gland. As part of his treatment, he requires regular check-ups and a special diet to manage his condition. Despite not being the tallest person in the world, Rodriguez Hernandez has gained popularity in Venezuela and is often approached by people asking for pictures. He reflects on his childhood when he was bullied by classmates for his oversized feet but now embraces his uniqueness.
The German Embassy in Venezuela stated that shoemaker Georg Wessels has been making shoes for Rodriguez Hernandez for a number of years. Wessels recently traveled to Venezuela to make a delivery of size 70 shoes in Venezuelan measurements for Rodriguez Hernandez. The shoemaker has created custom-made shoes that fit perfectly on Rodriguez Hernandez’s large feet, allowing him to walk comfortably and confidently without any discomfort or pain.
Despite being not interested in claiming the title of the tallest person in the world, Rodriguez Hernandez has become a well-known figure in his community and continues to receive attention from the media. FOX News contributed to this report, which was reported from Los Angeles.
