How to height fraud 2 inches and be comfortable in formal shoes

[Jason Voorhees]

For my farewell party I ended up height fraudging by about 2 inches and I was still able to dance all night, run around walk and kept standing the entire night without my legs giving me away

The key is to look for shoes with what's called an Italian rearward last or Italian style last construction. This means the heel counter is taller, firmer, and more contoured cupping the Achilles and the back of the ankle. The result is better support, stability, and extra room for insoles.

I do really like shoes from classic British makers like Crockett & Jones, Edward Green or even Allen Edmonds but they unfortunately don't have this design It's unique to high quality, Goodyear welted Italian shoes from makers like Carmina, Santoni etc you really need to make sure the construction is right or it can get uncomfortable.

Something like this

They typically also have a bevelled waist which is another signature of well made Italian shoes

Next I added a soft gel insole about an inch thick. It slots neatly into the shoe and stays in place making it easy to wear without feeling cramped The total lift comes out to around 2.3 inches and once you're walking and standing it effectively makes you around 2 inches taller.

That's it. This setup is extremely comfortable. No feeling of cramped. None of your sole visible and you can walk, run, dance no problem. Also 2 inches imo is the sweet spot for height frauding

You don't have to buy it all at once. Caramina shoes retail go for 450-500 dollars but they have seasonal sales where they drop to 250-320 and if you are okay with factory seconds that have a minor indiscernible defects. It can go as low as 200 dollars. I personally have a factory seconds from Allen Edmonds and they look near identical to retail.

Honestly, I’m not really short but I will look into it in the future if I have a party/wedding scheduled. Bookmarked for now

I wore lifts a few times and it hurts my feet like crazy, I don't want damaged feet. I'm prioritising long term health over aesthetics now anyways so it doesn't matter too much

As long as it is under 3 inches you should be fine imo.
