How to raise the height of your shoes

If you want to appear taller, without overdoing it and becoming grotesque, there are some very simple remedies, with interventions that directly concern the footwear you choose.

The first solution is to go to a shoemaker, who can, when resoling, add material, such as rubber or leather, and effectively increase the height of the shoes. The advantage of this solution is that it is a very stable and long-lasting choice. The disadvantage is the cost, which can exceed 30 euros for a single pair of shoes, and also the fact that the shoes become less flexible and probably less comfortable.

There's a simple, inexpensive, and easy-to-apply way to raise the height of your shoes: using a heel lift, also known as an insole. The two most common models are cork, gel, and leather-lined; or raised Converse insoles. The first option is definitely preferable, as they're internal heel lifts that don't deform and adapt to the shape of your foot. Heel lifts allow both men and women to raise their feet by a few centimeters (from 1 to 4-5 centimeters to be precise), are easy to wear (they're placed inside the shoe, at heel height, glued with double-sided tape), and help maintain a stable foot. correct posture. Among the drawbacks is the fact that the heel lift, used with low shoes, such as the ballerine, can cause your shoes to slip off while walking.
