heelsnhose77 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I found this link http://newagequest.com/HH/moreheels.html#sec4 This would a great way of wearing heels and having the effect and feel but the people arround not knowing. If it could be a normal male style boot but inside is were it all happens. What do you guys think and where could I get a pair like this? What you'all think.
HighBoots Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Mmhh maybe you could achieve that effect yourself, with self made inserts into men's larger size cowboy boots? Or by somehow "fixing" a pair of high heel shoes inside of a boot? This should of course be made carefully for the final assembly to be sturdy and stable, or I could see this as an easy ankle breaker

tallguyinheels Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I tried this a several years ago - moving from a Mens 13 to a Mens 10 size boot and trying to form an internal wedge to provide heel support. Work OK but was never very stable - on my tries anyway.
chris100575 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I've just had a quick Google and found these which may be interest. Regular guy shoes with an internal heel of up to 4 1/2". Not my cup of tea, but they could be good for you stealth heelers! http://www.standtaller.co.uk Chris
heelsnhose77 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Posted July 24, 2007 Thanx for all your replies. The StandTaller website was interesting however they have taken a normal men shoe and built the heel up and in a wedge but it seems that the is nothing holding your foot in the shoe so it is almost like a mule effect. Don't know if I like that cause I don't like mules. They keep slipping off. Keep looking and post if you find anything interesting. I know I'm looking.

This company has been in business since 1939 and I have read many good reviews of them over the years. I believe the elevator shoes and boots fit like normal shoes, not like mules.

new_look Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 ive had a similar pair before. they do what they say and increase height but they dont really feel like high heels. there was an insole with a wedge foam piece at the rear inserted into a shoe that had a slightly higher back than normal shoes. youd have to look hard to tell. i had a mid height pair and to be honest it still felt like a flat shoe so if you are hoping for a secret feel of a 4in heel then this is not the one for you im afraid nl
L.K. Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 These have been around for a long time looks like. Not my style. I like heels in the privacy of my home, but wear comfortable mens flats at work; 10 hours a day on concrete floors is all about comfort. Would make you seem a bit taller though...
