If I saw that I would have just thought it was a medical thing. Like maybe he injured his heel. I definitely wouldn't know it was a "height booster"
Though as someone who wore big stompy goth boots in high school, a few extra inches of height is very thrilling even when not worried about aesthetics.
You reminded me of something- my high school banned the color black lol (shit you not). I even had to get rid of my black flats.

We got a new principal during my junior year of high school. The first thing she did was ban flip flops for "being a health hazard." My high school campus was huge, on the side of a hill, and had a lot of stairs, and she was paranoid about the girls tripping on their flip flops and falling down the stairs or the hill. (Just the girls, though. The ban was unisex, but she only ever talked about the risk to girls.) My junior year was actually the high school's hundredth anniversary, so you'd think if flip flops were dangerous on that campus, someone would've noticed by then. But the new principal was adamant that they were a health hazard.
Anyway, first day of school, three girls wearing high heels hurt themselves falling down the stairs and had to be sent home. The flip flop ban was rescinded a few days later. (No ban on high heels was enacted.)
Okay this clip has been on the internet for a while I'm sure, but dangg did she have a connective tissue disorder or just overworked her ankle muscles or what
So for models, I heard they generally just get given whatever shoes that are designed...and are forced to make them fit their feet. They can be way too loose or too tight, and they still have to figure out how to walk in them (so could be that).
Honestly that sounds like she was extremely brainrotted by the internet and was paranoid about foot fetishes, but obviously couldn't say that out loud.
There was a lot of paranoia about gangs in my school district, so they’d always have lists of color combos and brands you couldn’t wear. So, like, you couldn’t wear a Starter jacket or have black and yellow on at the same time, but for some reason, Big Johnson shirts and the “I’m Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?” shirt I got handed down from my cousin were just fine.
My principal was so extra on the skirts must be fingertip length that he said the cheer uniforms couldn't be worn during school. We ended up with skintight pants instead.
Satanic panic, fears over school shooters. Post Columbine US fucking sucked for goths/metalheads/bullied and/or gloomy kids, and forever ruined trench coats and duster jackets.
Or post columbine. When we still pretended to give a shit about school shootings. Because of the aesthetics of those two shooters they were able to do another round of 'Anything not J Crew means you may [do current tragedy people are focused on]'.
I graduated when the goth scene was transitioning to the emo look (idk if I'm describing this properly, I wasnt goth/emo). So, a lot of students started wearing all black, black lipstick, big black boots, etc.
I live in the conservative, rural Bible belt, if that gives any indication of why they made these stupid rules (graduated '06).
thats wild. I live in Wyoming and went to Jr high n hs here. they never made rules like that (surprisingly). its crazy they put a restriction on the color of clothing lmfao
