Here where I live in Slovenia we also wear mostly thin footwear, like Vans etc so 0.5 inch is normal.
I only wear more than an inch when I jogging/running or during winter if there is lots of snow.
I have heard on several occasions people joking/making fun out of a guy wearing Nike shocks while going out about being insecure. dmeyer says on 17/Aug/10

Rob, could you tell me where I can buy those Airwalk Skate shoes (the exact pair shown on this page). Totally my style. I presume they're as comfortable as converse?
Thanks in advance.
[Editor Rob: called airwalk ignite I think...they have some padding on ankle part unlike converse and the insole is actually more squashy than converse although they barely give 0.5 inches.
I picked a pair up for £15 in the UK shop called Sports Soccer and I liked them and went back and got a brown pair.] opinions says on 11/Aug/10

Hi Rob, first of all, sorry for my English, I'm supinator, as a shoe can be reduced and if the whole heel supports only in that part and I measure my height on that basis?
I am 6 ft 3 and knock doors 6 ft 4.6 in morning and 6 ft 4 in the night with running shoes (Reebok DMX Ride, Nike Lunarlite)
The difference between outside and inside the shoe is 0.25 or more.
Thanks anton says on 27/Jul/10

[Editor Rob: if it was a thin insole then maybe 1.3, but I've seen shoes give 1.4 inches like that with a thicker insole.
sometimes though shoes can be deceiving. I saw an actor with a pair of rockport that looked no more than 1/2 inch on the heel, pretty thin, I tried the shoe on a year later and it had a decent thickness to the insole, so it was like 0.8 inches...] european says on 13/Jul/10
thANKS ROB, nike air max light are under 3 cm right?
[Editor Rob: i'll remember to have another look in the sport shop next time I walk by to look at the lights again and see if I can say for sure] european says on 13/Jul/10

[Editor Rob: the older 3's might be slightly less, but 5's and 7's look similar] klem says on 11/Jul/10
Cool that you added those skate shoes Rob, it would be nice if you could add more if you get any more since I found them to vary a lot, but 2 cm is usually maximum. I wear lot of Vans Classics, Bearcats and while they look like they are thick they actually give no more than 0.6 inch... I also skate and they wear out pretty fast and soon they give very little, they compress.
[Editor Rob: yeah brand new that adio pair at the bottom I measured at near 0.75, but I've worn them for a month and they now measure 0.6 inches...
I do a lot of walking as I need breaks during the day from the computer, I wear out sneakers pretty fast. I used to skate in late teens but broke fingers and gave it up!] Chris. G says on 10/Jul/10
Hey rob I'm 16 and was measured at the doctors office. The nurse measured me at 5'9. Though I believe she measured me incorrectly, because when I got home and had me dad measure me against the wall. I was 1 1/2 inches taller? I thought maybe it was the carpeting, but everywhere we measured I was still measured at 5'10 1/2.
Your thoughts??
[Editor Rob: maybe the nurse got it wrong. Measure yourself in a few rooms and if it is roughly the same then you should go with that height] Scott C. says on 10/Jul/10

@rob yes air max 90 not more than 1,2 inches, but 1,4 inches for skyline is a bit exagerate for my opionins, probabily strong 3 cm [tipe 3,3 ] impossibile to say correct... Editor Rob says on 25/Jun/10
I had a look at the nike skyline and air max 90 in the sneaker shop today, the skyline does look 1.3-1.4, max 90 maybe a tad less.

Hi Rob,
Do all Shox models give 1.4 inches in height, or is it just the NZ model?
Also, is the Shox the tallest sneaker on the market?
[Editor Rob: a lot of shox give 1.3-1.4 range, some 1.1-1.2, others as low as 0.8 inches. Those mbt/shape ups are much bigger, there's lots of running sneakers near 1.3 inches] Steve Conyoe says on 22/Jun/10

Rob, are Nike Shox still in production, I've looked at a few sites like JJB and can't seem to find any. I'm looking for a thick soled trainer/sneaker, not neccesarily for height, but simply for comfort and padding.
[Editor Rob: yeah sportsdirect have them. Sometimes though, lower sneakers can have better insoles. I was looking at a pair of adio's that had this real flexible bouncy insole. TBH, it felt pretty comfortable but is only half an inch thick.] Charlie says on 22/May/10

Have you looked at the Nike Trainer SC 2010?

Hey Rob!
Can I have your opinion on these if that's alright? I think they are similar to the ones I posted not long ago, but they look a bit smaller.
Also, will you ever be updating this page if you get time? I think a list of all the shoe heights, even without pictures, would be useful. I'm sure people won't mind if they are estimates either.
Cheers,
Lozzer!

[Editor Rob: the bit above the stitching might make it appear thicker than it is. It's like air force 1's, they give near 1.2 inches but you have magazines printing photos of Tom Cruise wearing 'elevator wedges'...] Bradi says on 30/Apr/10
I heard people saying Converse is pretty much like being barefoot considering how low they add.
But according to Rob and this site the Vans Classic Slip-Ons give less than the Converse. (.55 in of the vans vs .62 in of the converse)
So if anything, if you see someone wearing the Vans Slip Ons you can pretty much gauge their height.
Or do the Converse insole as time passes actually gets lower than the Vans Rob???
[Editor Rob: well a lot of sneakers lose a couple of mm, insole and outer sole will wear, I'd just say both of those were around the 0.5-0.6 mark] Adam says on 29/Apr/10
Rob, do you know any shoe that would give less height than converse? (other than flip flops)
[Editor Rob: there's converse slim fit versions which I've not measured and plimsole style fashion trainers. They appear as though they could give less, more 0.4 inch] Infoshoes says on 27/Apr/10
ok Rob, this is was my sensing when I tryed the shoes of the righ foot , I do not think even they get to 1.5 inches in height, but I think a close to a height of Nike Shox is probabily , nike air max ltd give 3.4 cm ever or creeped down after wearing ?
[Editor Rob: I don't know, the pair you see on this page...they're still in the box.] Infoshoes says on 26/Apr/10

Ps.

[Editor Rob: I've never seen the type of shoe up close you speak of. I would go with the height at the back of the shoe as the best indication of what it gives.] Slh says on 10/Dec/09
rob a very easy question...
i have a pair of shoes were the in front of the sole and the rear is 1.5 cm. But there is a side part of the shoes which is rounded ( to fight flatfoot) and it measures 3cm. Do you think this side part can give more height or the shoes give only 1,5cm? Slh says on 8/Dec/09

Alex, I also have a pairof sketcher boots for the winter and they give at least 1,5 inches, I measured 6-1 in the evening with them.

Rob, Do Nike Air Max 360's give more height or does Nike Shox? What do you think?
[Editor Rob: they're about the same, well within 1-2mm.] Alex says on 1/Nov/09
Everyone here, if you really wanna feel taller without having to put lifts in your shoes or buy expensive lifts you should go buy a pair of sketcher boots. The ones I just bought give 1.75-2 inches of you to you I am telling you. I dont think I am exaggerating. Mike says on 30/Oct/09

[Editor Rob: a lot of sneakers might lose 1/8th, maybe 1/4 inch depending on how thick the insole was to start.] Henrey says on 11/Sep/09
Does this shoe give the same amount as a Nike Shox? Because 1 of my friends said that Adidas Bounce give more, yet my 2 friends who are both 5'9 (they've been measured in gym class) one wore the Adidas Bounce, and the other Nike Shox, and they were standing next to each other, and the one friend with the shox looked a tiny bit taller with the shox? So your opinion Rob??

Has someone measured the Nike Air Max 1 Premium? bubba says on 31/Aug/09
I'm 178.6 cm tall in the evening.Just measured my shoes. My formal shoes give me about 2.4 and I feel slightly above average in them. My casual summer loafers (which I wear every day) give me only 1.7 cm and I feel average in them (I know I know, even if there's only a 0.7cm difference). Now that I know most people wear 2.5+ cm shoes, I probably am above average JJ says on 24/Aug/09

Rob I have a question dealing with my height, and wanted your expertice on the situation. Please give me an honest answer, thankyou.
I come from a tall/short family. My Father is 6'0 (6'1 in sneakers) but has alot of back issues. Judging from his younger pictures he could easily pass as a 6'2 or 6'3. Everyone on his side are basically Giraffes. His mother is 6'0, his cousin is 6'5, his grandmother is 6'4. So as you can tell they obviously have the height on there side.
My mother side is a different situation. My mom is 5'0 even, my grandmother is about 4'10-4'11 (proabley in her prime an easy 5'0). My uncle is 5'2-5'4. So a bunch of shorties there :P
I come from a eastern european background. I was born in Russia or Current day Ukraine. I'm white, and I'm medium boned. I wear a size 11 shoe, and have very small hands.
I'm currently 15 years old. I'm 191cm, and weigh about 189-193 (goes up and down alot). I didn't start getting tall until I was 14, until that time my parents always assumed I took my mothers line of height because I was pretty undersized for my age grounp. When I hit 14 I grew pretty quickly and grew about an extra 3-4 inches. Here's a growthchart...
11: 5'1
12: 5'3
13: 5'6
14: 5'9
14.5: 6'0
15: 6'1
15.4: 6'3 (191cm)
So far I've grown about 2 inches this summer. I didn't start puberty until I was 14 (same time as my father). With my growth spurt came along the other things such as a deeper voice tone (not that deep though), pubic hair, and such. I do have facial hair, but it's really light (considered as "peachfuzz"), and only have to shave once per month.
I asked my father when did he stop growing and he told me in his early twenties. So not sure if that's any indication when I will stop growing. So I think I gave you everything you need to know!
So how much taller do you "predict" I will get? Thankyou Rob:D
[Editor Rob: these predictions are hard, but at your age you could be nearing the end or may gain 2 inches.] aram x says on 31/Jul/09
How much can platform shoes add to one's height? Tony says on 29/Jul/09
Rob-seems like Shox is at the upper limit for trainers. Have you seen the (relatively) new Nike Lunar trainers? Do you think these are comparable? Click Here

"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
