If you're 5' 9-10 like me, which is a common height, there IS hope for you. Yes, the height is shitty, I live daily as a 5' 9.5" guy and always wish I was 6' 0/1" instead. HOWEVER, if you are in this range it isn't over for you height-wise. I'd even argue you could go as low as a weak 5' 8" before it's truly a detriment to your everyday life. I just ordered another pair of ankle-height boots and more lifts, and have practiced walking in my boots, maxing the amount of lift I can handle in the boot. My boots give 1.25in of height, and the lifts give 1.5in (one main section and two smaller, and an additional old gel shoe sole below that). Total, the boots add 2.75" and I can comfortably walk in them. Wearing them with long pants, you can't even see the lift I have, let alone when I have practiced a normal gate and posture when walking and standing. 2.75in of height brings me to 6' 0.25", minus .75in for normie shoes that everyone else wears, 5' 11.5" barefoot height fraud. TWO inches. This is huge as since 5' 9.5" is average (if you're in the US like me) you go from 50th to 75th percentile height-wise. AND you can claim 6' as you are within .5 inches of it and not have to worry about getting called out. A guy even as short as a weak 5' 8" would benefit from this, as he goes to slightly above average ~5' 10" and isn't too short for people to notice the height increase. The only place you can't get this huge increase in the gym, where you can only wear sneakers and a bit of lift. But you only lose an inch, and people aren't likely to notice. This strategy is more for parties, social outings, and impressions, which matter the most.
