Is Being Short A Problem?

Friday, November 11th, 2011

If you ask your doctor, he will tell you that there is nothing wrong with being short. Your mom will probably tell you the same thing. Bu, deep in your heart, you probably wish that you were just a few inches taller. Although the average height for a man in this country is 5’9”, even men who are that height sometimes feel that they are “short.” So although there is no real physical problem with being on the shorter side, the truth is that there are many other problems.

 

The first problem that you will find out about when you are growing up is that women prefer to be seen with taller men. There is no particular reason why this is so, but it’s the truth. If you are the shortest kid in your class, then you will be picked last for sports and probably picked last at the dance, too.

 

As you grow older, people won’t be quite as cruel, but the truth is that you will probably have more problems finding dates than the taller guys do. Women generally want a man who is at least a few inches taller than them, and if you are short, then you might not have a lot of women to choose from.

 

But the most painful part of being short is that it can really stunt your career. Taller men get the better jobs – there are plenty of studies that prove this. Taller men make more over their lives than shorter men do, and they are more often found in positions of power. Yes, there are the exceptions like the 5’2” Napoleon Bonaparte, but they are rare.

 

If you want to get the most out of your life, both in your career and your social life, then you should consider doing something about it. The best and easiest way to tackle your lack of height is by using lifts. These are simple, soft insoles that go right into the shoes that you already own. They can be put in all kinds of shoes, so you will be as tall on the golf course as you are on the dance floor or at work.

 

These lifts will give you the appearance of being one to two inches taller, and they will also give you a level of confidence that you might never have felt before, which can only lead to more opportunities for you in life.

 

Height Increasing Shoes Vs. LiftKits: No Comparison!

Ugly Height Increasing Shoe

If you are looking for a way to get a much needed height boost (and what shorter-than-average person isn’t?), then you likely have been debating between investing in height increasing shoes and LiftKits. The fact is that when you give both options an honest look, there really is no comparison at all. With height increasing shoes, you generally are paying upward of $75 to $100 per pair of shoes, and you have limited style options to choose from. You have to buy the styles that these height increasing shoes are made in rather than choose shoes that really suit your style. This is an expensive and rather backward way to go about buying shoes!

 

With LiftKits, however, you get a much more affordable way to boost your height. These shoe inserts are priced under $30, and they can be removed and placed into whichever shoes you feel like wearing that day. So with just one small investment, you can get that height you want, and this generally is up to one or two additional inches of height! The inserts go right into your shoes, and they can be used for almost any type of shoes you have. This means that you can walk into the shoe stores of your choice, pick the styles that appeal to your unique personality, comfort, and sense of style, and then place the inserts inside. It’s that simple.

 

After you do this comparison for yourself, you too will see that there really isn’t much of a comparison to make when it comes to choosing between height increasing shoes and the LiftKits inserts. The LiftKits are more affordable by a long shot, and they give you the complete ability to where the shoes you want to wear while giving you that height you want. Take some more time to look into what LiftKits have to offer, and you will find this really is the way to go if you want to boost your height by up to one or two inches with ease.

Why Insoles Are a Popular Gift This Holiday Season

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

When it comes to the holiday season, most of us are stressed out about what to get our loved ones. But perhaps this season it is time to get yourself a present, too. Although you might not often think about it, if you are shorter than 5’9” (the national average for men), then you may be putting yourself at a disadvantage in many aspects of your life. Therefore, perhaps the best gift that you could give yourself would be that of a few inches.

 

Especially around the holidays, when all of the women are in heels, you might find yourself feeling a little short-changed by your lack of height. The truth is that there are many men just like you, who are not nearly as tall as they would like to be, who are doing something about it. You can, too, by trying out some of the most popular shoe lifts in Hollywood.

 

LiftKits are insoles that are worn in your regular shoes on an everyday basis. They are as comfortable as any gel insoles that you might buy and can actually help to eliminate back and knee problems. But their primary purpose is to add height to your frame. They are available in both one inch and two inch options, which can make even the shortest guy much more confident with his size.

 

During the holidays, when everyone is dressing up and looking their best, you might want to consider making this a gift to yourself. You will appreciate the fact that maybe you won’t be the shortest guy at the party and that all of the women won’t be towering over you. Also, when it is time to ask for that promotion or annual raise, you might get a better reception from your boss because of your height and renewed confidence.

 

 

 

Fashion Secrets to Add Height

Friday, September 16th, 2011

fashion secrets

Although it certainly isn’t fair, there are some advantages to being taller in this world. For both men and women, the chances of having a successful career are much greater if you are on the higher side of average when it comes to height. You will also make more money over the course of your lifetime and have better opportunities when it comes to the opposite sex.

 

But if you weren’t born with the height that you want and feel that an extra inch or two might make a big difference in your life, then there are a few fashion secrets you can follow that will enable you to get the respect and have the confidence that you need in life to succeed.

 

One thing that you should definitely not do if you are short is wear frumpy, baggy clothes. They will only make you look shorter. You should also try to wear pants that are tighter fitting, especially around the legs so that you appear taller.

 

Shoes with tall heels may help shorter women to look a little taller, but in reality they aren’t fooling anyone. With men, shoes with heels are even worse. But you can try wearing lifts, which will certainly add to your height.

 

The primary advantage of having lifts in your shoes is that you can wear your normal shoes and no one will be able to tell that you have them in. LiftKits are a particularly well-known brand that will enable you to get an extra inch or two out of the shoes that you already are wearing. These can be worn in any kind of shoes (athletic, dress, or casual), and although you will appear taller, no one will be able to figure out just why you are standing straighter and appear so much more confident.

Fact : Taller Men Achieve More

The average height for men in the United States is now 5’9”, which is actually a little shorter than it was a generation ago. But if you are shorter than this, then you are probably suffering from a variety of prejudices that make it harder for you to get a job, harder to get a raise or a promotion, and also a lot harder to get a date.

 

People just tend to look at taller people as being more powerful and capable. Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do about that. Women face the same kind of prejudice, with taller women being considered more attractive than shorter women, and taller women also getting much better-paying jobs.

 

But if you want to appear taller, there are some things you can do such as change the type of clothing that you wear. You can also make yourself physically taller by “heightening,” which is the practice of putting lifts inside your shoes. Although you may think that only someone who was really short would do this, the truth is that many men in Hollywood and on Wall Street do it because it makes them appear more powerful and capable.

 

The great thing about lifts is that you can put them in your shoes and no one will ever know. You will wear the same brand name shoes as everyone else, whether you are wearing athletic shoes or dress shoes, yet you will be an inch or two taller. So if you are only 5’7” right now, with a product like LiftKits, you can get yourself up to the average height of 5’9”. If you are 5’10”, then you can finally read the magic number of six feet, which is where you will really see benefits in terms of earning power and the ability to attract women.

Finding Shoes That Make You Taller

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

So many people today, men and women alike, look for one thing in particular when they go shoe shopping, and that is shoes that make you look taller. Nobody enjoys people looking down at them. Whether it’s family, friends, co-workers, employees, or anyone else, when people look down at you, it makes you feel less confident and even inferior. Over the years, this can really make in impact on your self-image, so it’s clear that you want to do what you can to find shoes that make you taller.

 Styles

 There are only so many shoe styles available that accomplish this goal. For men, the options are truly limited, and this is especially true when you are considering professional attire. For casual wear, boots and other thick-soled shoes are an option for men, but these aren’t appropriate for all occasions or all weather. For women, there are of course heels as an option, as well as boots, clogs, and other styles. While there are more styles for women to choose from, the drawback is that heels and other such shoes are not always comfortable and they can even cause health issues.

 Insoles

 Sometimes the solution doesn’t rest in the shoe styles but in the shoes themselves. This is because rather than finding shoes that make you taller, you can actually put inserts into your existing styles that give you a healthy boost. What’s best is that nobody else knows you are wearing them!

 The Results

 Whether you do choose to buy a style that has a thicker heel or you choose to go with the more comfortable and healthier option of insoles, the result is that you will be taller than you are barefooted, and you will have that extra edge that gives you a confidence boost every day, too.

Shoe Lifts for Men – A Real Alternative

Monday, August 8th, 2011

There are several different ways that you can add a few inches to your height, and if you are a man who is a little shorter than you would like, you may have already tried some of these. You will find some shorter men who use human growth hormones or lengthening techniques, but in reality, they don’t work.

 What About Elevator Shoes?

 Most women won’t tell you this, but one of the first things that they look at in any man is his feet. They want to see what kind of shoes he is wearing, how big his feet are, and how well he takes care of his shoes. If you are wearing elevator shoes, you will be found out immediately, and this is usually a deal breaker for most women. But if you are wearing shoe lifts for men, they simply won’t know.

 What Are These?

 Shoe lifts for men are small inserts that are put into the inside of the shoe. They can raise you up anywhere from one inch to two inches, and no one will know that you have them on. Unlike elevator shoes that stand out, shoe lifts can be used in any pair of shoes that you have, and you can adjust them to a particular height if you wish.

 Are They Comfortable?

 You might think that having any kind of shoe lifts for men in your shoes would be uncomfortable, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, most men find that they are more comfortable, walk more upright, and have more confidence in their stride once they put in these lifts. Your friends and co-workers might not at first notice that you are taller, but they will indeed notice that you are walking with a renewed confidence, something that you never had before.

Shoe Lifts – Back In Style Again

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

Women wear high heels because they know that they make their legs look great and also make them appear a lot taller. When a man wears shoes with anything more than an inch heel, everyone knows that he is trying to look taller, and that is not a good thing. But, with shoe lifts, you can get that extra height that you are looking for without anyone knowing it.

 How Do Shoe Lifts Work?

 Lifts in your shoes are not the same as having stacked heels or elevator shoes. You get to wear your normal shoes, whether they are athletic shoes, dress shoes, work shoes, or casual shoes. Then, simply take out the existing insoles and replace them with shoe lifts. They will instantly make you appear taller and since you will still be wearing your regular shoes, no one will know the difference.

 Are They Comfortable?

 When you wear shoe lifts, you might be surprised by the level of comfort that you get. First of all, they are made from soft material that cushions yet still supports your feet, and they will feel no different than your normal insoles. Also, because you are supported more in the back of your foot, you will stand up straighter, which leads to better posture and fewer health problems.

 Won’t People Know?

 The best part of wearing lifts is that you will get to take advantage of the many benefits of being taller without having to resort to such things as human growth hormone or bone lengthening. Both men and women around you will look at you much differently, and you will be able to stand tall, literally, with a sense of pride. Having just an extra inch or two on your height can make all the difference in the world and really improve your life.
