I found a pair of platform pumps online. The details say that the heel height is 3" and the platform height is 0.5". Does this mean that the shoes total heel height is 3" just 0.5 inches of it is because of the platform. Or does it mean that the total heel height is 3.5" and will make me 3.5" taller? Its important because im going to a dance and can’t have heels taller then 3" because of my date.

Hi,

I would like to increase my height by putting something in my shoes. I was gonna put a shoe sole and try to put something under it to increase my height, problem is I can’t think of what to put. So my question is what can I put under my shoe soles to gain height?

Thank you very much

Hi everyone, I’m 19 years old next month. I was just wondering if you think i’ll get any taller. I’m joining the marines and I ship out to boot camp 6 days before I turn 19. When I went up to MEPS to get my medical and physical stuff I was 5"8.5 tall with no shoes on. The doctor just put me under the 5’9 category. I was wondering if you think I will get any taller? My girlfriend is 5’8 and i’m only half an inch taller than her. When we first met she told me she liked tall guys because she wanted to feel small. That kind of changed apparently now because she says it doesnt matter how tall I am cause she likes me for me. Which is good, I guess i gave her a lasting impression and height doesnt matter as much with me.

still though I was just curious if u think I will grow any taller? I heard guys dont stop growing till 21-25 but does that mean height too? I do Yoga and Stretch twice a week along with workout. My dad was 6’4 and my mom is 5’3. Do you think I might hit 6 feet by the time im 20 or 21? thanks in advance!

There has GOT to be a way to grow taller at my age of 22. I’m not quite 5’7 without shoes on and i know its not MIDGET short but i just feel so much smaller than every other guy and even if i could be 5’9-5’10 that would definitly be good enough.. i guess im in pretty good shape but i just want to be a few inches taller.. this is me now http://hphotos-snc1.fbcdn.net/hs154.snc1/5736_510557896552_83100374_30417325_4777185_n.jpg.. do you guys think its even worth it for me to try? and what do you suggest i take/do to do it?

I’m 16 and have a bit of a problem with guys around my school. The problem is mainly my size. I remember hearing that the average height of men in the U.S is like 5’10 or so, and I’m only 5’8, almost 5’9 in shoes. There’s more 5’11 and 6’0 guys at my school than guys between 5’4 and 5’10. I’m not exactly short, but not tall by a long shot. I started going to the gym a few weeks ago, gained about 3lbs of muscle, then got a new medicine that suppresses my appetite so that if I don’t force myself to eat I don’t. Because of that I’ve already lost about 2lbs since Wednesday, which may end up making me lose about 15lbs. I’m not exactly built, but I have lean muscles and am a lot stronger than I look.

Unfortunately most guys don’t know that, and constantly underestimate, insult, and ‘pick’ on me. I’m not worried about a fight, as I’ve had 5 years of martial arts and an unfortunately violent pre-teen experience in which I won exponentially more fights than I lost. However, since I stopped fighting period in the middle of my freshman year, most of my classmates don’t know that I am actually have a bit of a flair for fighting. But I really don’t want to fight anymore, and since I don’t do anything wrong (never been late for a class without having been held behind by my last teacher to finish work ((which is excused)), never drank, smoked, done drugs, disobeyed my parents, argued with adults, etc) other guys assume that I’m weak and a coward. Even smaller younger punks assume they can beat me up with ease.

As my family is well off (dad owns his own company and makes ,000 a year) I’ve never actually needed to do work, so I don’t exactly have large muscles. Even though I hit the gym nearly daily (1 or 2 days off a week for recovery) I look more lean than large. Even if I started bodybuilding, I wouldn’t look too intimidating due to my size. I have a medium frame and am doubtful to grow any taller (already taller than my dad, mom, older brother, perhaps my grandparents ((haven’t seen them in years)), etc). My dad’s side of the family has a very large frame, even though they aren’t particularly tall, and my mom’s has more of a lean slender frame. I have a mix (medium), and despite being taller than my dad, am no where near as strong or muscular (ignoring the beer gut) as he is. And I’m nearly 4 inches taller than my mom. My older brother has her frame, and is slight and a slight bit shorter than me, but much more lean. Sad thing is my little brother seems to have Dad’s frame, and is already taller and stronger than I was at his age- he’ll probably be taller and stronger than me by the time he’s 18. I don’t exactly have the ability to be large, as I’m naturally lean and built more for sprinting speed (nearly 17 mph last time I was checked) than muscle strength.

How can I be more intimidating looking to prevent a fight? I don’t exactly think it’s my attitude (I’m extremely confident all of the time) but due to my size other guys try to take advantage of me and insult me constantly. As much as I wish I could be 6’0 or 6’1, I have no family members anywhere near that tall (except one uncle, 5’11) and I don’t think a guy that’s 5’9, potentially 5’10 if I’m lucky and still grow (which I doubt), even a bodybuilder that size can be intimidating enough to stop a fight. Help?

Srry for the long explanation lol

U know der’s a lot of advertisements on the internet about growing tall … The most famous one is from the Sinotech Corporation … they say they would give capsules … they also say if the medicines doesn’t work for u, we would return the money back guarantee within 90 days … & der’s a lot of testimonials written der telling tat it has helped a lot … I don’t know whether to believe dis or not ….
Another famous site is … … grow taller.net or sumethin … they say tat they would giv a pair of KIMI , which we hav to put in our shoes when we walk .. & they would also giv capsule… they also give money back guarantee….

I’m more than 20 yrs old …. so i don’t hav tha capability to grow more naturally .. i guess … but i wanna grow tall …
Is der any persons out der .. who have used either of these or something else to make u grow taller after the age of 20 …. ?? Did it really worked for u ?? did u had any side effects ?? I want real & true answers … plz !!

im goin to be 18 December 17…im already 5’8 (5"9 with shoes) will i still grow ??? LOTS of people told me that puberty doesnt end in guys until early 20′s for some. i want to be around 5"10 with out shoes lol… THNX

im 5’2. started my period last december. my mom is 5’5 1/2 and my dad is 5’11. my older brother got to 6ft. im a volleyball player and i know im eventually going to grow taller, but is there any way to boost my growth naturally? (please no pills/spams)! im in 8th grade………thank you!
and i just grew another size in shoes resently. does this mean im about to hit a growth spurt? im an 81/2 size shoe. and for my hieght, i feel like i have boat feet

i have seen many of its advertisment on sattelite..they say that these shoes can increase your height in 6 monthe about 4 inches!,,,AM I SHORT? 174cm ,male,19year-old? ….is there anyway to increase my hight im so so so so so sad about my apearance no selfconfidence…i see girls in my age who are taller than me..you know before that i pay attention tooo much to my height i was a energetic and happy boy but now..i see the reality..im just a rubish for a girl…help me give me a way

i’m 5-4 1/4 without shoes and my foot size is really 9 or 9 1/2…it seems too big for my height

Can you grow taller after your growth plates close?
my dad is 5-8 and my mom is 5-2…my uncles are mostly 5-10 except one is like 5-5 maybe 5-5 1/2
Joey yes they do

I know it won’t but im asking this to settle an argument, my friend said that adding rubber bands to his shoes will help him jump higher because the "elasticity" will transfer to the shoe and give you better vertical, i know that doesnt make much sense but he thinks it does, but im telling him that it won’t ’cause that isnt how rubber bands work and it isnt how the process by which energy transfers works, help me out here would you?

I’m currently 16 and will be 17 in 4 months, i’m currently around 173 cm tall, or 5 feet and 8 inches, (with my shoes off) I’m worried cause i think that this is quite short, and i was just wondering if i would continue growing, my brothers are around 177~ cm. Thanks.

And how could i promote the growth, will drinking milk or working out my back muscles help? Increased sleep at correct times? I sometimes sleep at 3 am, bad habits ><

Now I know it mostly all about genetics but I think I still have a chance of growing because my uncle is the same height as my dad (5’8) and his wife is short and their kid turned out to be pretty tall so I know it’s possible to grow taller than your parents.

Anyways I’m 5’7 1/2 (5’8 with shoes on) and I would like to be at least grow another inch but I would really like to be 5’10 and up. I found some exercises that supposedly help you grow but I’m wondering what are the best vitamins to help support your growth?

Thanks in advance!
I forgot to add that my dad is 5’8 and my mom is 5’2
and I’m 17 so I’m still pretty young

I am doing running all the time but I recently start weight training in the gym.
What shoes should I wear during weight lifting and bench press?
Does it really matter?

I am 17 girl and 5’8 but when i started puberty i know i was more like 5’6 and 3/4ths of an inch and I have pain in my legs that aching pain, and I think my shoes have grown smaller… not poitive about any of this. I also have been excercing more the last 2 weeks… Could i be growing taller still?
I was shocked when i learned i grew at all cause i heard u stop after you start your period/puberty.

I am just 1cm under 6ft 16 years old., i always wanted to be around 6’2 without shoes.
What can i do to grow taller…anything except surgery,and other risky stuff…….

My dad is around 5’11.. my mom is only around 5’4

I would be entering the world of work after I graduate from college in July, but I will be on probationa nd I will really like to show the company that I deserve permanent.
I want to know what height of shoes do you think will be most adequate for work. Is it anything under a 4.5”, or else???
I am 5 ft 4 inches by the way.

Im 5’3 or 5’4 without my shoes on. my dad is around 5’7 or 5’8, and i would love to grow at least to 5’10. Is that possible? and Since summer is about to start im going to have more time to eat, sleep, exercise, and stretch better. If anyone has n e suggestions like food(meals), exercise, or stretching wise i would really appriciate it. thanks

Also the best place to shop for the shoes? I do have some soreness in my knee, from injuring it a while back, and I don’t want to feel that when I exercise.:) Thanks for your input! Have a stress free day!

Got an x-ray the other day and the doc said I’m done growing.
I’m 16 and on a good day i might be 5’7" (no shoes)
Is this doc right?
are there any ways to legitimately grow taller than what your genes have in store for you? exercises? miracle pills? food and drink choices? etc?

Thanks!
I’m a guy BTW

Im 16, female, and 5 foot 5. My mum’s taller than me, and my dads around 6 ft. I’m only a size 4.5 in shoes, and most of my friends are all taller than me.. Is there any chance i’ll grow much more? I’d rather be a bit taller..:( also, is there anything i can do that will help me get taller?

I live in sydney. and i was wondering where to buy the insole for shoes to increase height. i don’t wanna buy it through online. any suggestion and ideas? PLease? anyone?

i live in sydney, new south wales.

Ok so I am going into 9th grade. I start on Monday!! Anyway so I am already 5’7. I have never really been self conscious about my height at all really… I mean I know I am taller than most of the girls but it has never really bothered me. I like the way I am. But, it did begin to bother me just a couple days ago when I was in a shoe store and I saw a huge variety of leather boots for the fall. They had everything from ankle boots, and tall knee high boots that zip and they all had like a 2-3 inch heel. I love these shoes. I think leather boots with a heel look so cute, and fashionable especially when you tuck them into skinny jeans. But then…. I started to feel SO SAD because I thought well I am 5’7 and wearing even a 2 inch heel will make me 5’9 which is TOO TALL. I mean nothings stopping me but I think that I will be taller or as tall as all the guys and I don’t know… I felt like crap. Cause I love these shoes but I feel like I am stuck in between a rock and a hard place. Do you think I should be self conscious about being about 5’9 in boots?! Help!

Or does anyone know of a good comany that sells elevstor shoes that do not look clunky and thick?

I am 15.5
Male
Height: 5’9 or a bit taller
Height at age 11-12: 4 foot ten, 13 yrs: 5’4 14 yrs:5’6-5’7
Shoe size: 12 inches
Dad: 5’11…..almost 6 ft when he was at his peak(my dad has smaller shoes than I do)
Mom: 5’3

My dad has soso genes…..he was the tallest among his siblings but he had taller uncles and granddads

My mom has tall genes……
My cousins on her side (age 16-20) are almost all 5’11-6’1……..basically I just have two cousins on her side who went under 6 ft. Tall relatives and such

I’m kinda late in my puberty…I’m just starting to get body hairs…almost none at the moment..I don’t shave yet….I have like 3 hairs on each of my arm pit…but I have pubic hairs though….no acnes………minimal leg hair…no arm hair.

My brother though didn’t get pat 5’9..he remained the same height since he was 17…..he got very sick and almost died because of lung problems caused by drinking and smoking……I’m kinda taller than him now…….he’s 21 now.

So my questions are:

1.) Could I still grow?
2.) How much, on average, do 15 year old males grow in inches before stopping?
3.) What could be my predicted height?
