What do you think of people who wear lifts to appear taller?

Question

I would like to get your opinion on this matter. I didn't really pay attention to any of this stuff until i had a conversation recently about height with a friend of mine.

Basically he was talking about how celebrities abuse them (Brad Pitt,Tom Cruise and many others). He was saying how even people who he works out with playing basketball wear lifts hahaha.

What really got me is that even people who are tall use them.He said smaller people abuse them more but taller people are not that behind. I mean doesn't it hurt your feet over time? I can't see this being healthy at all.

I heard it's expensive since you have to either customize and or get replacements every so often due to usage.

If you ask me the whole concept is bizarre.

Answer 1

nothing, maybe feel sorry alittle. 6'2"

Answer 2

Everyone has something about themselves that they are insecure about.  For some, it's the size of certain body parts, others don't like the sound of their own voice, the color of their hair, or the fact that their toes bend in an odd way.  Some of us go to extraordinary lengths to try to mask or remedy this situation.  I don't see anything wrong with making oneself feel  more confident.  

Answer 3

I didn't know about them before now. It is bizarre.
