\u200b<\/strong>In the end, it depends on the type of insole you are using. If you are using one that specifies it\u2019s a height insole, it will increase your height. If, however, you do not have one that mentions any effects on your height, it is probably because it won\u2019t have any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A height insole is a shoe insert that you can use to artificially increase your height. You slip it into your shoe in place of the original sole<\/a> (article) for a discreet way to add a few inches to your height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Height insoles resemble the base of a pump. The toe area is flat, but there is a thick raised heel at the back. The amount of height each insert adds is directly related to how tall the heel is. If you aren\u2019t sure whether the insole you have is a height insole or not, check to see how raised the heel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the insole sits relatively flat and has no noticeable lift to the heel, it will not add any height to you<\/strong>. On the flip side, if you notice that there is an incline to the insole, that insert will increase your height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t worry, it should be clear on the box and when you look at the insole if it adds height. If you have to think and wonder if it adds height, people would have to scrutinize your height in the same way to notice a difference (provided one even exists).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Height insoles are not elevator shoes<\/strong>. Unlike elevator shoes, height insoles can go in a pair of shoes that you already own. With height insoles, there is no need to go out and buy a whole bunch of new shoes to get a few extra inches. Unless, of course, you want to anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of if they add height or not, all insoles come with some benefits. Insoles can help with all of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n One common reason people add insoles (raised or not) is to make a shoe more comfortable. If you have a job that requires you to be on your feet all day, it might be worth getting a good pair of supportive and soft insoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Insoles are also frequently recommended for people with knee problems<\/strong> or ankle problems because they can help support your arch and thus improve your bone alignment<\/strong>. Even if you don\u2019t have knee or ankle pain, it can be useful to add insoles for this purpose. Arch support makes a shoe easier to wear<\/a> (article) for long periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attention skiers!<\/strong> Consider switching whatever insoles came in your ski boot for ones that you pick out. Skiing is particularly hard on the legs, knees, and feet. Finding a good insole that fits your foot will help make the world\u2019s least comfortable shoes a little better. Definitely do not add height insoles, though! That would be equivalent to trying to ski in heels and would make the ankle an even tighter fit than it already is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
