How much height do we gain by standing on our toes?
« on: March 01, 2014, 03:19:25 PM »

Instead of doing LL, I decided I'll just stand on my toes all the time and appear taller that way...


Just kidding, but for the sake of seeing my possible post-LL proportions (I want 4-8 CM depending on what proportions allow) outside of computer mockups, I was wearing long jeans and standing on my tip toes, both with and without shoes. How much height gain do you all think this simulates?

I wear a size 12 shoe by the way, so my feet are on the larger side.

I've been trying the exact same thing!  I just measure myself  with and without standing on my toes, with the help of a measuring tape and a wall. It's not 100% accurate way to measure.  My measurements for the differences range from 6.5cm to 7.5cm.    So I reckon it around 7cm.

It depends on how much you push up with the toes, If you try to push it at maximum, i think around 5 cm is gained, with shoes, about 7 cm.

Btw, i also did this all the time in preparation for LL, to see my proportions  :D

5cm without shoes and 7cm with shoes seems accurate to me, but it really is hard to measure with a tape measure while also trying to stand as straight as possible on tip-toes,co results may be inaccurate.

It depends on the size of your feet. I am 5ft9 and my shoe size is 10. I got around 7.5.8.5 cms so it should be around 3 inches.
