Forget Platforms—This Is the #1 Shoe Trick for Looking Taller
If you’ve ever wanted to be a few inches taller, we want to let you in on a little secret. There’s an inexpensive item you can buy to not only gain some height but also solve the issue of uncomfortable footwear. We’re talking about shoe lifts, aka small wedge-shaped inserts you stick in the heel of your shoe. They’re the subtle trick only you need to know about, and oftentimes they add an extra layer on comfort to the shoes you’re wearing.
To find the very best ones to pop into your favorite pair of sneakers, we combed through Amazon to uncover the highest-rated options. Amazon commenters raved about some that they had tried and gave the $10 Apeles five out of five stars (including a reviewer who bought them “to live life on a whole new level literally”). So if you’ve ever wanted to see the world from a few extra inches higher, why not give these a spin? Keep reading to see the best shoe lifts on Amazon.
