Recently I’ve been autistically buying loads of different types of shoe lifts to see what works best.
Most commonly, people get ones like these:
They are trash imo, they compress a ton so you get nowhere near the advertised height increase.
A better option is a harder lift, something like plastic or synthetic cork such as these:
These don’t compress to any noticeable degree so they are best placed under the main shoe insole to secure them and maximise comfort + you can easily stack them. There are a few advantages of less compression:
- You don’t feel like you’re walking on a trampoline
- You can potentially fit in bigger lifts because your heel won’t pop out as easily due to the lift decompressing when you raise your foot
- For a given true height boost value, the hard lifts will take up less space under the insole and so look far less sus when the shoe is off. If you are only frauding mildly, you can get away with taking your shoes off and the lifts are almost undetectable in the shoe, especially in high tops.
If you still find this uncomfortable, consider putting a normie comfort or orthotic insole on top. You could also then blame this insole if you ever get called out for heightfrauding. “Need it for muh achilles tendinitis” or whatever.
These hard plastic lifts with just a thin soft layer for comfort work pretty well too:
They secure the foot nicely, but aren’t quite as discreet under the insole due to the lip making them higher. Hard to spot in a tall black shoes though if you put them on top of the insole.
Happy frauding, fellow manlets.
