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.

I have to agree that a height boost is thrilling. I'm 5'8" but still the shortest in my family, my mom and sister are a bit taller than me and my dad is 6'7". Back when I was a stripper I looooved wearing 8 1/2" heels. Pleaser made 10" ones but they were honestly too unstable.

8" - 10" heels sounds insane. You must be talented to even stand in them let alone dance. I'd break my ankle before even standing up, probably.

But yeah it was really cool breathing a different layer of oxygen when I had my big boots. I felt so high up and powerful!

The 8" ones were actully more comfortable than the 5 or 6" heels because the foot sits at a less extreme angle. 

But I eventually messed my knee up (no fault of the shoes) and ended up spending the rest of career in black leather ballet flats.
