Is it obvious when a guy wears lifts in his shoes?

No, it's not obvious that you're wearing lifts. However, the lifts will raise your heels, creating the possibility that your heels will slip out of your shoes randomly.

If you haven't worn elevated shoes or lifts, be sure to practice walking in them. It's a lot like wearing high heels.

Tammy C wears lifts

Thanks, R1!

I found them to be quite unnoticeable while filming Casablanca, OP. I say, give 'em a try!

Mickey?

Lifts are less obvious than shoes with heels/platforms.

You'll have to wear only lifts from then on.

Why would guys wear lifts? I mean, if you're wearing them to add some height to attract people, won't they realize you're shorter when you hop out of your shoes?

I'm very tall r1. If I put the lifts under my toes, will I look shorter?

R8, OP wears her shoes when she’s getting fucked. It’s her thing.

A faux sable 'Mink' always complements 'Kitten' heels -

I was just wondering if men still wear lifts.

I'm 5'8 and have realized that almost no one cruises me when I wear my regular flat shoes. When I wear my boots, which gives me about 1-2 more inches, I'm constantly cruised.

It's fairly obvious when celebs wear lifts because they pose for photos at events. I find it funny. Are actors really shorter like people say? 6ft is average for men, so are male actors really trying to look 6'5"?

We would take actors' measurements but ask for their height and weight. Women always lied about their weight and men always about their height.

R13, the average height for men in the US is 5'9.5".

Can you wear lifts with regular shoes or do you need special shoes?

The ones I ordered can be used with regular shoes, R16.

I'm not getting them to try and attract anyone. I'm 5'5, not that short, but I have a small frame so some people seem to think I'm a kid. A couple of extra inches might make me look more my age.

My brother is 5'2" with a petite frame, op/ r17. It can be pretty tough to be a guy and be that small.

It really depends how much your day look is similar to your usual evening look.

Because in the latter your lifts are rather noticeable.

They're gonna know something was up when your feet are in the air OP!

That's only to make shorter guys feel better r15. Guys 5'11" - 6' are the real average, look around you.

Is 5'11- 6' really the average, R21?

LOL! I thought we were talking about "helium heals",whether or not obvious!

Yes, r22.

Helium doesn't heal r23......

Short people problems...out of curiosity, how do you figure lifts will make you appear "more your age"?

The average height for males in the USA used to be taller but with the influx of Asians and Latinos it has dropped a few inches over the last few decades.

r17, if you think 5'5 is not that short, you're delusional.

There’s nothing wrong with being short so long as you’re a bottom.

I used to wear them occasionally. It was fun being over 6’ now and then. They’re not noticeable unless you take them off in front of someone. They killed my arches after a while, though.

R21, your sister is Brobdignangian. The average male height in the US has never been 6 feet.

OP is a little light in his loafers. .

Nah R21. It wouldn’t be so hard to find clothes in stores if that were true. Large and XL just get wider. You pretty much have to wear floods, order online or buy the bigger sizes and sag them lower on your waist.

You can have mine after I've finished filming this movie with short-ass Pacino, OP.

You could just carry an apple box around with you, OP.

Is that photshopped, r36?

Were they hard to walk in, R30?

Sometimes it’s better to just own your natural height.

I don't understand how those actors can wear them when they know that they are going to be photographed. Who do they think they're fooling?

De Niro is playing a 6’4” mob goon in that movie. He’s wearing them because the character needs to tower over Pacino, not due to his insecurity.

No one will ever know, OP.

No one will know

[quote] Can you wear lifts with regular shoes or do you need special shoes?

You can, but you'll have to wear shoe's a size or 2 bigger than you normally wear or it will be too tight. Also, they should be high-top type shoes; with loafers and such, the top of your heel will stick out.

Still, it's best to get the specially made shoes from Richlee Elevator Shoes or the company R1 linked. Even then, better to get the high-top ones.

My ex wore them. You can't tell. True, if you're on a date and later take off your shoes, it will be noticeable that your'e not taller, but most people are shorter when they're barefoot anyway, just from the normal heels on shoes. Your date will just assume it's from that.

Lifts are just stupid, and make you look very insecure and/or desperate for attention. Just avoid them.

I'm a tall guy, 6'2", and find shorter guys very attractive.

Is OP the guy who wrote about wearing manspanx and thought no one knew?
