Best lifts on Amazon?
« on: September 11, 2021, 07:36:27 PM »

A few years ago, I was using some decent lifts in boots and was probably gaining about 3.5 inches. Pretty good when combined with boots. I can't recall what those were, though, and the ones I've tried since have either been flimsy crap that easily flatten. I use these ones for dress shoes: https://www.amazon.com/Mendez-Premium-Height-Increasing-Insoles/dp/B07CZ2GS2L/ they're reliable and very strong but they only give a small boost and I'm looking for something more substantial for boots. Any suggestions?

Have you tried eBay?

Haven't tried eBay, but I can look there too. I probably should've asked more for the brand of the lift than specify an outlet; I just figured that Amazon typically has everything.

I have looked ot up for you regarding the elevated shoes. I think this site has the ones you might like:

Thanks, man. Have you tried those? I have a couple of pairs of Calden dress shoes that are height enhancing. They look quite nice but the actual lift isn't as much as lift inserts tend to be. How legit is this brand in terms of giving you 13 cm(!) boosts?

I haven't tried them, but I think they help a lot.

Those generic lifts from Ebay work. The ones that are advertised at 9cm, really gives you 5.5cm but that's still quite decent. Make sure to buy good shoes so they can fit, boots. They're quite comfortable for me but I guess that really depends on the person.


Search up "2021 New Unisxx Shoe Lift Height Increase Heel Insoles" on Ebay.

If you have a Chinese friend, try Taobao. The site offers more choices.

Here you have to switch to English but have very cheap insoles, starting in 86 cents of euro, with 3cm up to 9cm

Just so you know lifts will give you substantially less height than advertised. The first reason is it changes the way your ankle pivots and the second is that the material compresses. I’d say it gives 60% of the height advertised and the more the angle of the ankle increases the less height you will get than advertised.

Is it the same for elevator shoes?

Not according to my experience. Shoes have some compensation of the insole also in the front part and your feet allways fits ok. Insoles like these make you feel more like being in high heels, and sometimes you get your heel allmost out of the shoe, very difficukt to disguise, uncomfortable and even difficult to close/tie the. shoes. If you buy insoles,  avoid more than 1" or 2"" according if you wear shoes or boots.

Regarding amount of height announced, shoes are more "honest" than insoles, too.

I always wear 2-3 cm insoles, according to the shoes I wear as with some of them 3cm are too much and my heel is almost outside the shoe, so I prefer 2 cm with them.
I measured myself and I almost gain completely that amount and I walk fine with them. My achilles tendons are very stiff due to at shortening surgery I did and except from aesthetic reasons, some insoles really help to prevent my tendon from extra tension which may lead to microtearings.

I can't wear shoes without even 2cm lifts, even if I could because I still want that extra boost to my height which makes some slight but still noticeable difference.
The best height increase is with my nike air max 720 and 2,5 cm lifts. They give me a solid 5cm added height which is more than enough for me.

Before LL I wore elevator shoes if 6-7,5 cm which always gave me 2-2,5 cm less than their advertised height (due to the pivot and all these). After LL I never used them again. A normal shoe with a 2cm insole give me almost the same added height and I can wear any shoe I want and not some ugly elevators.
I truly believe now that elevetor shoes of 6-7cm are not worth it as you can gain just a little less with 2-3 cm insoles with minimal money and without the bad style most elevator shoes have.

You can try sock lifters made by Japan and they are more invisible than boots.
