Alternate suggestion: be tall and wear regular platform boots. Tower over me.

One on each foot so you walk lopsided

Is this for people who wish to impress those who are attracted to mad scientist Igor assistant types?

Fun fact: 6” heels mean nobody is brave enough to comment on your height

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 39 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

One of my wife's friends is tall, like 6'3", and wears huge boots.

Everyone just wants to climb her like a tree

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Nice! I’m 5’11” and regularly wear 6” heels out. My wife likes it as does everyone else

My fear is that people would notice the unnaturally short lower legs and also I'm 193cm tall, I need to just embrace being a tall mommy type girly

[–] socialpankakemix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

depending on the outfit, i dont think people would notice, but your right tall girls are great (source: trust me)

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 14 points 3 weeks ago

I'd be careful. Unnatural ratios can be very noticeable, and body ratios are very ingrained into our subconsciousness. It would cause something to feel off on a first glance, causing a more accurate second glance, which likely would it make very obvious.

Or just get proportionallly sized clothes that fit and dress like a normal girl (not mommy)

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I was mostly joking :P

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I would pay so much for these

It's not exactly this but have you considered barefoot shoes? They have a super-thin sole so they naturally take some height off you, compared to "normal" shoes. I wear them for completely different reasons (as a cis man who has found these to help with feet pain and posture after being a kid with flat feet), but I thought you'd appreciate the tip.

Groundies make them with "normal" looking soles, but it's all an optical illusion - they have a strip around them so the sole looks "thick", "normal" and "fashionable". Essentially a less exaggerated version of that drawing:

Caveat: they're more niche and therefore expensive. Also not everyone enjoys the idea of walking without cushioning and feeling the texture of the ground.

I had Converse shoes in the 90s and that was already very painful if you stepped on a little rock on the ground. I can't imagine going even thinner than that for outdoor shoes. And at least the one in the picture look more like indoor shoes / slippers too.

[–] Wxfisch@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

My wife and I both switched to barefoot shoes (we were mostly shoes from Xero but I also like Vivobarefoot) and I can say that being able to feel the ground you walk on is kind of the point. Obviously you don’t want to feel the sharp edges of rocks or hurt your feet on broken glass or something, but the outsoles are tough enough to smooth out the really sharp edges while still allowing your foot to move and feel the features you are walking in. It takes getting used to (it’s recommended to take at least a month or so of slowly increasing the proportion of time you wear them) but I have never had shoes that are as comfortable as my barefoot shoes. Did multiple days of 10+ km on tours around Italy in the summer and my feet never hurt (only were tired, like the rest of me).

I want reverse lifts tho...

[–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I am already short,I could be even shorter :3

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If smol correlates with cute, you could at the same time become even cuter :3

I'd easily pay $200 before I even thought twice about it
