Hey Rob,

[Editor Rob: not as much as 3cm, 2.6cm maybe.] Shock says on 26/Jun/09
"Doc Martin Style" - I have an old pair of this style in the Timberland Pro Series brand. The total heel (counting the lip between the boot and the sole) measures 1.625" at the thickest part and 1" at the thinnest part towards the front.
Barefoot as of right this very moment at 3:15AM I am 5'7 7/8", down from my wake up height of 5'8.5" (I go with simply 5'8"). I dug these out from under my bed and measure exactly 5'9.5" in them with no insoles for a difference of 1.625". These boots have essentially a 1" platform so the increase over 1" beyond that is .625".
I don't see how you can lose as much as 45% of this increase beyond the platform when you lose maybe 30% of the 3.25" difference from a standard 3.5" high heel that has a very small 1/4" front. uk guy says on 14/Jun/09

Rob, the nike sneakers I wore that day when I met you are very similar to the Nike Shox Arraw but give a bit less in height. Mine only give 1.08. Well I did have them since 2007 so they could have been closer to 1.25 inches.

I can't believe people are still purchasing the Crocs Cayman shoes. They are dangerous on elevators, by the way. Also, the Doc Martin Style, Nike Arraw and Adidas Samoa might be healthy in terms of balance and comfort -- but they look as if they were designed by Frankenstein's mother. As far as style is concerned, the Vans Classic Slip Ons and the Nike Street Shox V are more appealing. Most all Reeboks are healthy shoes -- most are stylist too. Those crocs are horrible -- especially the green ones. scata says on 14/Apr/09

what are some good dress shoes out there? i find that its usually during formal settings that i want to get that extra height (when girls are wearing heels).
The problem is that most dress shoes have a standard 1 inch heel, while those "height-increasing" shoes have upwards of 2.4 inches!
What are some formal shoes (height increasing or not) that have 1.5-2inch heels so i can be taller and still move like im not wearing stilletto heels?
anyone have any insight on this? im sure im not hte only one who has encountered or would like to find a solution to this problem. BOOOY says on 28/Feb/09

I had time to kill yesterday and was looking around shoe/sneaker shops.
I was looking at various timberland models. The standard style has an ok insole, I would say from trying it on and looking at it, it was actually pretty much in the 1.5 range, although measuring could show it to be slightly different.
Glenn mentioned he's worn nike impax? I looked at those, they aren't much different in height from a nike shox. theman says on 6/Dec/08
If u are looking for height advantage there are plenty of Filas I just saw at the DSW store that give near 2 inches at least. My wife liked a pair for me I tried them on and felt the height difference. I chose not to buy because the soles looked thicker than I like. At 5'9" they got me near 6' and I was not trying to look that height. Don't want to be accused of heightening. (For you Seinfeld fans) klem says on 3/Dec/08

Interesting site. randomly found this confirming the height difference in a picture someone posted. I get the feeling a few of you are looking to increase your perceived height due to issues of feeling short. Don't. I'm well over 6 feet tall and have friends well below avg height.
besides, whatever height these shoes add, add the same to anyone else already taller. Seniorr says on 26/Nov/08

[Editor Rob: I've not seen those sneakers up close, they don't look big, maybe 1 inch] Aaron says on 3/Nov/08
I own a pair of the vans classic slip ons and let me say I hardly wear them. They give about half an inch like it says above, but that white sole is so deceptive. It looks like it should give a solid inch, but the insert really rests about halfway up the white sole (not at the top), so you get cheated out of height. Don't buy those if you're looking for footwear to be comparable in heel height to the adidas oregon or superstar because it won't compare. However, they do look cool, so I wear them some days when I'm not caring about my height, but on the days I want to look my tallest I bust out my new balance 547 which probably give just under what nike shox give (I think those 547's give about 1.2 inches or so, but I've never measured them precisely so don't quote me on that). jake says on 2/Nov/08

Hi guys,
I'm really happy that I find this threat here. I'm a weak 6'1 (184.8cm) and I want to be at about 188-190cm. Shox are my favourites. Heard that most people who own them are very satisfied... so the question here: Is there a listing available which shows the increase from Shox NZ, R4, Rivalry and so on? Or are they really from 1,25 up to 2 inches?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Rob do you like to wear air force 1s, they are classics I believe and come in a variety of colours. I want to buy a pair but unfortunately I am broke for the time being. =(
[Editor Rob: they are ok for comfort after a few wears, but they're not a favourite of mine. Saying that, when it rains sometimes I might wear something like a leather adidas samba or samoa. Last time I wore air force was in January when there was some snow...] Alex says on 22/Sep/08
I think any Jordan type sneaker gives 1.5 inches. Anytime I have on basketball sneakers I always feel a bit taller than with running or other types of sneakers. Anonymous says on 22/Sep/08
does any1 know what the Jordan Men's XX2 5/8 shoe gives? plz answer they look pretty thick Anonymous3 says on 20/Sep/08
"i tend to wear timberland boots but it seems like when i wear them women always criticize and say i am wearing high heels and they laugh"
--------------------------------------------------------------
now that's just mean not to mention cruel......I seen people wearin them timberlands all the time, they are classic more in the winter though since it's colder and they protect your feet. Anonymous3 says on 20/Sep/08
Rob what would you say is your favourite sneaker(s)?
[Editor Rob: my favourite for comfort - no break in needed for me - is the Nike Free, not the one with nylon but pure cotton material. Second is the cushioned Samoa's, I've worn those 2 sneakers a lot, especially for conventions where you are walking a lot and standing.] Anonymous3 says on 19/Sep/08
Rob any idea how much height the pumas that Kemal posted give on average? they look quite flat compared to some sneakers. I guess maybe max 0.5-0.75"? closer to 0.5"? I see a lot of girls and a couple of guys wearin pumas. Can I have your personal opinion? Thanks.
[Editor Rob: I would guess about 0.6-0.7, some of those styles can be deceptive - I know a few I was looking at in a sports shop last month had higher insole than the outside would suggest.] Romeo says on 16/Sep/08
Hey Rob i managed to get a pair of classic timberlands and measured myself up.
Barefeet im 5'9 and with the timbs im exactly 5'10.5. However i must point out the timberlands I was wearing are 3 years old and over time have been worn down, i borrowed them off my bro.
So in conclusion i think a brand new pair of classic timbs probably gives 1.6-1.75 inches.
Im getting my own pair soon when i get enough cash and will post up the size they give helpingyou says on 15/Sep/08
let me do everyone a favor. NEW BALANCE 479.Get the black ones theyre great looking and they give me 1 and a half solid inches plus just put a dr. scholls tri-insole in them and theyre perfect trust me. A.D. says on 15/Sep/08
The differnce between, say, Nike Air Max 95 and Converse feels so much, but isnt. It must be a weird sensation walking in 2" elevator shoes. Anonymous3 says on 14/Sep/08
anyone know how much jordan shoes give? I know it varies a bit from shoe to shoe but anyone know a range of the amount they would usually give? I'm sure there are some jordan fans out there. Len says on 12/Sep/08
Those Doc Martins look like something from Frankenstein's wardrobe closet. The crocs are dangerous on escalators, elevators, etc. I put both of these "creations" in the category with the sort of pants that sag off the buttocks rendering the visibility of more than the crack between two worlds. In the 1970s, people poked fun of fashions in the 1950s. In the 1980s, people poked fun of fashions in the 1960s. The truth of fashion is that most of it is a load of green crocs and Doc Martins. To me, if the product hurts to wear or is painful to look at, it's not worth the time and expense. Anonymous says on 10/Sep/08

Does anyone know how much the Nike Dunk gives?
Click Here Romeo says on 27/Aug/08
How much do you think the classic 6 inch timberlands give rob. I feel these shoes are very common and see many people wearing them, and they have been noted for having a large heel and also a considerable large insole
Any idea, i personally have never had a pair as they are pretty exspensive but looked at some in a shop and have to say they seem to give around 2 inches if not more!!!
The link below shows the timberlands in question

[Editor Rob: I'd be surprised if they gave over 1.5 considering the insole to be well padded.] Alex says on 20/Aug/08
Some New Balance differ a bit in size. Some give an inch then some give just over. I have 3 that differ in size. RisingForce says on 19/Aug/08
Alex, I have a pair. I'm 5'7 3/4" without shoes and measured at 5'9" in them. cool says on 16/Aug/08

Unfotunately, I don't realy know about the insole...
Thanks!
[Editor Rob: Sly's wore them before, how much...tricky without knowing just how thick the insole is, but 1.5-2 without knowing.] sven says on 7/Aug/08
rob can you respond at the previous post?
[Editor Rob: I did, the flip flop should give 1.5cm or thereabouts, not the 1.9cm at the very heel.] sven says on 6/Aug/08
rob can you respond at the previous post? sven says on 5/Aug/08
rob can you respond at the previous post?thank you
[Editor Rob: so the flip flop does slope a little then, the 1.5cm at the point you where measuring is closer to the height it should give. Rather than the 1.9cm.] sven says on 5/Aug/08
rob i have that flip flop and to three quarters of the sole it measures 1.5cm, but measuring the sole from behind the shoe is 1.9cm...here is the photo
sieways Click Here
in the back Click Here
how give in your opinion? (save the pic and zoom it you can see much better the quality is bad)thank you sven says on 4/Aug/08
[Editor Rob: there's not much slope to them so I don't think if you measured how much they give vs a ruler to the side it would be much different when it's a flip flop. It can be different with a more sloping shoe in the 1-1.25 inch range.]
sorry rob but my english is bad...can u explai with an easier language?
[Editor Rob: it's hard to explain, but if you measured it 0.6 inch then that's how much it would give.
with some shoes they will give a little less than what the back of the heel measured.] Bam says on 2/Aug/08

I am a size 14 sneaker which is tough to find anyway. Its also long for my height. Alex says on 23/Jul/08
My sneakers that I had for 4 years were an inch or sligthly over. Now they'd be lucky at the most to even give an inch and likely more around .75. The inside of the sneaker you can clearly see is sunken in. sven says on 23/Jul/08
yes 1.6cm but without wearing it... i think can drop at 1.2-1.3cm wearing them...
right?
rob can you respond?

rob i have misured tthe flip flops and the sole is 1,6cm. With my body height how can give in your opinion?I think 0.5 in...
[Editor Rob: if you measured 1.6cm then it's 0.6 inch...] Alex says on 21/Jul/08
I got these pair of Nike's that look like the Nike Free on this page kinda. Had them from 4 years ago and now I use them as work sneakers. I'd say when I first got them they gave maybe slightly over an inch but now no more than an inch tops and could be only .75 after 4 years. Alex says on 21/Jul/08
Rob, I thought most sandals or flip flops gave 1/2 inch tops.
[Editor Rob: that's a standard range yes, but loads of styles of sandals and height are out there, I see a lot in 0.5-1 inch range.] sven says on 21/Jul/08

I got a pair of Nike Shox Arraw or something very similar to that and I feel about 1 1/4 inches taller in them. Marcel says on 6/Jul/08
This is a good page Rob. But one question: after wearing shoes for about a year doesn't that make them loose a bit of mm's? because it wears whole your body?
Kind regards,
marcel.
[Editor Rob: yes, some trainers with thicker insoles can lose more, the point of the base of your foot and weight flattens it a little bit. Usually a couple of mm get lost after 3-4 weeks of wear I find.] Philip says on 4/Jul/08
If you have more then 50 shoes then your in the women range :d Philip says on 3/Jul/08
Rob are all these shoes yours? How much shoes do you possede if I may ask?
[Editor Rob: A couple are borrowed but I have a lot of sneakers.] EJ says on 1/Jul/08
Ok Rob, Brilliant! Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I have one more question if it's not too much. Down below, at one point u say the SHOX V give like 1.34. I don't know for sure but I think u meant the Nike Shox Turbo V, which is what I just ordered. The thing is later on this page you say it gives 3.5 cm which is like 1.37? So what would your final verdict on the Turbo V be? Like 1.35?
[Editor Rob: Yes turbo shox 5. Some of these you can measure 1mm difference easily every time because of subtle posture or pressure or stance etc, I mean I'm saying 1.34 but it'll be in a range more 3.4-3.5cm.] EJ says on 1/Jul/08
Rob, could you tell me how much the Nike Air Windrunner gives please? I bought the new re-release of the classic 86 windrunner. Here you can see the shoe. Click Here . I'm thinking similar to air force 1, like 1 and 1/8 of an inch. What do you think Rob?
Please get back to me, your fan EJ.
[Editor Rob: I don't know how thick that insole is for them, but I'd guess 1.1 is fair estimate. I'm still waiting for Nike to reissue the 'Nike Division' sneaker, I loved those as a 9 year old kid...] Heyooo says on 28/Jun/08
How about some New Balance? They're a pretty popular brand nowadays. jay says on 27/Jun/08

More or less than the Tx 300?
[Editor Rob: it's hard to tell with that style, because where the join is, it might not be exactly where the insole is. I'd say 1.1-1.2] Anonymous says on 26/May/08
Some Jordans give around the same as the Nike Air. Some have barely any heel at all, and don't give much anything.
Jake - There are Blundstone boots which can be pretty dressy and worn with suits. They have a decent sized heel. Click Here

Nike Shox seem to be the most tall making "normal" sneakers ever, anybody agree/disagree? WantingToBe6FT says on 7/May/08
So quick question...are Nike SHOX still the clear-cut sneaker for increasing height? I'm going shoe shopping in a few days, so what are the best kind to get? I don't wanna look like the short guy in the gym.
Basically, I'm 5'9" and would like to get as close to 6 ft as possible! Are there any sneakers that will give me 2-3" inconspicuously? Bruce says on 4/May/08
i know this girl who is 6'2"/188cm and she wears size 9 1/2 and i am a 5'10.5"/179cm guy and i wear size 9 shoes. my adidas stan smiths sneakers gives me about 0.75" in height meaning i am 5'11.25" when i wear them, but i never felt short walking with her because she always wears flats. one thing i have always noticed is that it always takes like a 6'3" plus person to actually make me feel short & also everyone thinks am 6'0" tall and i quite find it funny because am actually not this height. i never lie about my height but if i was to claim 6'0" people will believe me because i met this girl who was 6'0" and she actually thought i was also 6'0" or maybe 5'11.75", but i was wearing the Converse's on that day. sven says on 25/Apr/08
ok so the insole are the same,in my shoes is removable and very thin...so is 0.75cm or 0.8 at max... thank you rob sven says on 25/Apr/08
rob can you post a pic of the insole of the adidas superstar?Ty
[Editor Rob: they are glued, not removable really, but with footweight of your heel on it there is only like 2mm thick at that point I reckon. This doesn't show anything, but on the C part Here if you press down a little you feel the hard rubber part of the shoe beneath so where your heel is it's pretty thin] sven says on 25/Apr/08
the insole is very thin probably under 0.5cm...i dont know how thin is the insole of superstar,but this is very very thin... i think this shoe give the same that give adidas superstar,right?
in your opinion the other shoes? thank you rob very patience :D
[Editor Rob: probably same as superstars then, other shoe I think more 1-1.1 inch range.] sven says on 24/Apr/08
ah so it the lacoste gives more than the adidas superstar??Why in your opinion?I have that shoes since 1 month,so that arent new...
[Editor Rob: it would depend on the insole, how thick it is. I think 0.8 is a fair guess for used pair.] sven says on 24/Apr/08
so the lacoste on your opinion give like the adidas superstar?Like 0.75in?
and the other shoes?
[Editor Rob: maybe 0.8-0.9, you should try measuring them. Just measure yourself without, then put em on and remeasure and see the difference. Easier than holding the ruler up against them.] |
