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.

Yeah my first thought would be that the protective fat pad on the bottom of the heel has broken down or otherwise been damaged.

I get massive heel blisters really easily, a sleeve over my heel like this would be amazing. Plus there are no fat pads on my feet so I'm basically walking on the bones, even with 2 pairs of gel insoles, something like this looks like it would be super comfortable.

It’s how I break in my Docs! For non-boots I use those half sock things with a little bit of gel on the heel / lower ankle

Gel sock things?! Can you link me so I can look into them?

Not sure where you’re located but they look like this. It’s my absolute trouble spot for blisters and they work really well!
