sliightly taller heels shoes for men...
i see nowhere in retail sell this kind of shoes.
i see people that sells this kind of shoes polarize too much (extreme height increasing) that people called their shoes as height increasing shoes, and sometimes the shoes looks awkward.
how do you think guys?
i'm not going to polarize too much by doing very tall men shoes.
i think about shoes that, have sliiiiightly taller 3-5 cm (normal heels+inside-height-increasing-insole) from the rest. but not too much that make people call my shoes as height increasing, that for some people considered as lame.
i'm going to using my own brand, and manufactured from china.
need your insight guys.
thanks. :thankyousign::thankyousign::thankyousign:

So you want to make shoes that make you taller but not call them shoes that make you taller?

Ive looked into the niche, I think what you are trying to do if I understand it right is a bad idea. I think there could be an opportunity in height increasing insoles and shoes but I dont understand why you would make taller shoes and not call them that

i want to be recognize as regular shoes but slightly taller.
you know, nike shox for example. i see people questioning sports shoes that makes them taller. and most recommend nike shox/airmax.
but they dont want to be declared as wearing height-increasing shoes, cause it would pretty lame for them.
i want people think "ill pick this one (regular value), because its taller (added value)", without stroke their ego if they use official-height-increasing-shoes.
im thinking for the start, there will be 3 simple categories shoes: working, casual, sports.

So youre going to be competing with Nike? Do you have a bank roll? Any experience? Anything other than an idea that you think people will wear your shoes because they make them 1 inch taller?

You would be better off buying height increasing insoles that increase your height by an inch or so

of course not. im going to compete at middle level.
the problem with height increasing insoles is they dont provide comfort since the front part of shoes is not designed for that.
i would make more room in front of shoes to accomodate the raising part of feet, thus more comfort.

and im sure nike dont have this 'taller' mindset when designing shox. it just happen when they designed cushion, it makes the shoes taller than average.

Have you ever worn them? I have a pair and have never had this issue, Im sure it depends on your shoe type, if you are making athletic shoes this is not an issue.

I think its a bad idea, but I wish you luck. I would definently do your due dillignece before you dive in. Like I said I have done a ton of research on this area as we were planning to launch a company similar to this height increasing insoles

 

[qewrtyass]

no problem bro. this is part of my research too. thanks.

yap i wear them once a while.
you're right.
they would not cause problem if the shoes is flexible, such as sports shoes.
but bring discomfort in rigid (eg. leather) shoes.
