Do low ankle supported shoes work with LKs? Vans Classics do!

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

While we were at the Sample Sale at Crown Bar over the weekend my partner pointed out that I looked shorter than normal. Then proceeded to ask me if I was wearing my LKs (LiftKits). I said, ‘No’ and that I didn’t think they would work in my Vans Old Skool Classics. One of the other LiftKit partners looked at me like I was an idiot for not wearing our own product to an event that we were selling them at so I thought, ‘what the heck, let me see if they will fit in to these shoes.’ Sure enough they fit and worked perfect.

One of the biggest problems with LiftKits can be that they take up space in your shoes and if the ankle is too low your foot/heel will tend to slip out the back of your shoe as you are walking. Generally I had just assumed that Chuck T’s, Vans Slip-Ons (still not sure about these two) and Vans Old Skool Classics wouldn’t work with LiftKits. Turned out I was wrong (happily) about that.

I slipped the LiftKits 1″ Lo-Top versions into the shoe and they fit. At first, not perfect but the longer I wore them the better they seemed to fit. The neoprene gel seemed to mold to the inside of my shoe and the bottom of my feet creating a more comfortable walking experience and more room in my shoe over time, all while making me taller.

Love it when things work like they are supposed to…

A New Product for Men That Makes Them Look Taller: and We’re Not Kidding

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

As reported on FashionRules.com on March 09, 2009:

You’ve probably read stories that tell you that guys like Tom Cruise and David Spade – not exactly the tallest guys in Hollywood – stand on apple carts or platforms when acting opposite tall ladies like Katie Holmes, Nicole Kidman or Charlize Theron. And let’s face it – how is a guy of normal height supposed to deal with ladies wearing 4 and 5 inch heels for the last few years? They say women are okay with towering over their men – but we’re always wondered how the guys feel about it.

Now we know. Three (smart) Hollywood guys just invented a great product to level the playing field, called Liftkits (MyLiftKits.com) For somewhere between $15.00 dollars and $35.00 depending on the style of the insert, men can now be a full 2 inches taller. Like every other beauty product, Liftkits became hot by being on the celebrity circuit – and actors were grabbing them at one of the Oscar gifting suites like free botox. There are hi-top and lo-top models, they fit right into any men’s shoe, and allow the average guy to now be the longer, leaner guy – which gives him the advantage in the job world, the dating world – and what other worlds matter? You can buy them on the site, and as women who love to wear Louboutins, we are all in favor of guys grabbing these!!! They’ve got to be more comfortable than 4 inch high heels. And they’ll even make you look better in your clothes. But you might need to wear longer jeans!!
