How I fraud 5'9 to 6'0 feet easily

[CashMan]

This is exactly how I’ve personally found the easiest, most natural-looking way to appear around 6 feet tall without using bulky elevator shoes.

1. Start With Naturally Tall Sneakers (No Elevator Shoes Needed)​

In my experience, the best strategy is to use regular sneakers that already have a tall sole. This avoids the obvious “elevator shoe” look and just seems like normal footwear.

My favorite choice: Nike Air Max 720s​

• They’re genuinely good-looking shoes
• They’re comfortable
• They naturally add about 1.5" to 1.7" of height
• Nobody questions them, because they’re just athletic shoes with a big air bubble

That alone takes someone who’s 5’9.5" to basically 5’11"+.

2. Add a Low-Profile Insole for an Extra Boost​

The trick is to use a thin, single-layer insole — not giant elevator ones that make your heel sit weird.

What worked best for me:

• A simple 1-inch foam or gel insole
• Must be full-foot, not just a heel lift — this keeps the foot balanced
• Should feel natural when walking (if it doesn’t, swap brands)

With the Air Max 720 sole + a 1-inch insole, the combined lift becomes:

1.5"–1.7" (shoe) + ~1" (insole) = 2.5"–2.7" total height gain​

That puts a 5’9.5" person at right around 6’0"–6’1" in public.

3. Why This Method Works So Well​

Based on my own experience, here’s why this combo is the most believable:

✔ Looks completely natural​

People know Air Max shoes run tall, so the added height doesn’t look suspicious.

✔ Doesn’t feel like wearing elevator shoes​

No weird posture, no stiff angle, no discomfort.

✔ Comfortable all day​

As long as the insoles are soft and the shoes fit half a size up if needed.

✔ No risk of being called out​

It’s just a normal sneaker + insole setup. Nothing extreme.

4. Tips I Learned Along the Way​

• Buy the shoes half a size bigger if adding insoles (prevents toe pressure)
• Replace the stock insole instead of stacking it on top
• Pick insoles that don’t lift only the heel (that throws off your stride)
• Break them in for a day so they feel natural

5. Final Height Estimate Example​

For someone around 5'9"–5'9.5", this setup usually results in:

• Air Max 720s: +1.5" to +1.7"
• Comfortable insole: +1.0"
• Total: +2.5" to +2.7"

Resulting height: 5'11.5"–6'0.2", very close to a legit 6 foot in public.

mirrin effort and it's your first post, however frauding from 5'9 to 6'0 is too much and noticeable if you need to take off your shoes.
I would fraud max 1.5-2inches

i go out with my family, cousins and friends and they all know how tall I am and then suddenly I’m 4 inches taller.

mirin’ the effort but realistically, you can’t pull this off.

 

[CashMan]

even with just air max 720 you get close to two inches in gain

It would work if u wouldnt need to take ur shoes off
