Mens Height Increasing Shoes

    Is there any shop in Dublin that stocks Height Increasing Shoes for Men? With the size of ladies killer heels these days I've begun to feel small on a night out, shoes that provide an extra 3 inches would get me up to 6ft which would be sweet.

    I can find loads in the states and a few in the uk but nothing here.

    There's a shoe shop on Talbot Street called Shu Crazy (just up from the newish Tesco Express) that I saw black leather shoes with raised heels. The only thing is the style of them is a bit "old man" ish (at least I thought so).

    The only other shoes that have higher heels for men that I can think of are cowboy boots but they may not be everyone's cup of tea.

    I'm 6'2" but wouldn't think a guy 3 inches below 6' is that small?? (then again I'm a guy so my opinion probably doesn't count! ;)

    I saw an ad on TV for some sort of half insoles that you put into your shoe at the heel end and it gives you an extra bit of height without needing extra heel height in your shoe. They fit well together, so you can use more than one at a time. Can't remember the name of them, though - sorry! Maybe a google search would throw up some answers.

    Don't do it, it screams insecurity!

    3 inches? Talk about subtle. Great way to draw attention to your height.

    No offense but you'll feel worse if you're spotted in your platform shoes than if you're standing around taller people all night.

    If you're feeling short, or are short, then there's a few things you can do to make you look taller/accentuate the height you do have including wearing wearing one colour (such as black pants with a black shirt) or wearing vertical stripes and ensuring your clothes fit you very well. Don't wear anything that'll draw attention to your chest downward like logos/pictures/etc.

    The last thing you want is to highlight insecurities by rocking in like a member of the jackson 5 and pretending nobody noticed.

    By the way, I'm 5"11 and never feel short, quite the opposite a lot of the time.

    Of course you wouldn't feel short, you're 5'11.
