How do I pick the correct size?
It’s easy to choose the correct size shoe lifts, particularly as most manufacturers offer standardized sizing. There are two main types:
Cut to Size Shoe Lifts
Cut to size shoe lifts come in one standard size, you then follow guidelines printed on the lift to trim it to size. These have lots of benefits, it gives greater flexibility between shoe types and you can ensure a perfect fit every time.Cutting these types of shoe lifts down to size is easy and can be done with a regular pair of household scissors. This type of men’s shoe lift often incorporates a whole foot insole, rather than simply providing an ankle wedge. Incorporating the insole section helps the lift fit better within your shoe, it stops it from sliding around and makes it more comfortable to wear.
Heel wedge shoe lifts
These are a really good choice if you are looking for a quick and easy way to increase your height. These hard foam shoe inserts take up less room than the larger variation making them also suitable for smaller shoes or wider feet that need a little more space. These are the style I started off using, they also tend to be more affordable too.
Can I use shoe lifts across different shoes?
You sure can, swap them between all of your shoes, boots and sneakers to increase your height!
How can I use shoe lifts to increase my height?
Increasing your height is really simple using shoe lifts and heel inserts. Slip them inside your shoes and you’re good to go, its an instant height gain that makes you 1″-4″ taller straight away.
Are shoe lifts suitable for running?
Shoe lifts are comfortable to wear all day long, in most types of shoes. However, I don’t advise using them for any kind of intense exercise. Not only will it shorten the life span of your lifts, the enhanced height and angle could throw you off balance.
Are shoe lifts compatible with other types of insoles?
It’s not advised that you wear shoe lifts along side other insoles for safety reasons. Doing so will also reduce the comfort and effectiveness of your shoes and insoles.
