Thanks for the advice. Since I have short tibias also in relative terms, I hope it won't be an issue.
When you say not to tilt too much forward, you mean, because of lack of balance, I would be more prone to fall forward?
Yes, basically if you notice women in high heels they tend to tillt forward when they walk. Your center of gravity has shifted. Invest in quality elevator shoes where the soles are built in and you can maintain as flat footed "as possible" (wont be perfect). The idea is to reach a height that will not mess up your posture or your gait.
Frankly, I have been in situations where i have been called out on my lifts, i laugh and just tell them, "ay, nuntin wrong with alil boost". If someone de friends me bc of 2 inches, they are not my friend lol .
Be sensible, and non obsessed with it.
You think you're "spotted" because of posture, gait, or they saw your ankle a bit too much out of the shoe?
Well if you go to high, you will get spotted due to posture and gait, and look of the shoe. Shoe lifts are no longer uncommon, they are mainstream now (you see them all over being sold on social media.
But to your question, yes if you go to high, people will notice.
As for myself, i was noticed a few times because I would enter a home where shoes were not permitted, or visited a resort with a lovely woman, and obviously had to get in the water. The more you act like you care, the more they will care, if you can get to a place where it does not change you at all, you will be fine.
3 inches for events (cool)
2 inches daily lifestyle stuff
1 to 1.5 inch sandle for beaches etc (not noticeable).
And finally, when you cant have any, fk it man - you did your work, you got what you got, just do not care about it. Look at it like a woman would, if she had to swim in a pool, and could not wear her push up pads... no one cares but her. This is really what it is like.
Thanks! I have that part of the "strategy" all clear! :-)
It may sound a bit naif but maybe I will also try to train gait and posture...
yes of course, practice walking normal with them on. Allow yourself to adjust.
