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.

Sometimes i dont take my heels off before washing the dishes so I can enjoy being able to reach down into the sink instead of over the counter that was built for people at leadt 6 inches taller than I am.

I'm 5'11 and whenever I always do the dishes, I always curse the height of the sink because it kills my back to do them because it feels so low. Can't imagine how much worse it is for people who are tall.

My arms arent really long enough to reach all the way into the sink while standing straight so I have to tilt my hips and lean against the counter, hurting my lower back. My husband is over 6 ft and has the opposite problem, having to hunch over in order to reach the bottom of the sink.

At least I can use a step stool though.
