Or you will look weird since wearing insoles with high top sneakers does look already like adding lenght to tibias

i  don't think it is great idea because the propotion and function (tight acchilles tendon)

You will look weird with 2 inch insoles in sneakers no matter if you did LL or not. 3 cm is the maximum one can pull off an still look "normal" in low shoes, sadly. Willing to bet 2 inches will still look very weird in high-tops too.

I look fine with them, actually better than without, probably because in the end when standing they aren’t really 2 inches but less

Is this really one of the factors you're weighing when determining whether you're getting LL lol

No one will ever care to notice as long as the the shoe it self is designed well and the insole is discreet.  You will have a longer "under-knee" but rarely do people ever care or notice these things.  Even when they notice; they don't really care.   

One food for thought.... If you plan on wearing shoe lifts regularly, may want to consider extending femurs.  This way the shoe lifts actually restore balance to your segment lengths.  This is not to mention that the more research I perform that more and more Doctors prefer Femurs vs Tibia.  My experience with CLL with femurs has been a good one.

Hope this opinion helps!

Good luck.

Idk what everyone is talking about. I wear 2 inch lifts in my Nike trainers, have been doing so for years and 4 inch lifts in boots. In the boots i've had 1-2 people in 4 years ask whether something is in my shoes but not 1 single person has asked about the lifts in my trainers.

In 2 inch lifts I can run, jog..everything normal. Noone notices.

Growtow is correct!

Its fine lookswise but after tibia lengthening your dorsiflexion won't be as good as pre surgery so you will still be working to get it back to normal. wearing lifts will further slow that down as it forces your feet to be angled in the opposite direction.

Wanna share a picture of how feet look like with 2 inch lifts and Nike trainers? I'd be surprised if it wasn't noticeable.
