Is it false advertising for a guy to wear shoes that make him look significantly taller than he really is?

[CT_CD]

"Elevator shoes are the push-up bras of menswear. No offense to anyone who wears them, but it's true. Wearing shoes that make you look taller than you really are is false advertising, plain and simple."

Dude seriously? Every single thing a woman does which is also VERY accepted by society and considered a norm is the literal definition of false advertising. Push up bra, heels, MAKEUP! ohhhh maan the amount of times i met a woman and she looked like an angel with all that make up on but when that was removed, oh my god... i never knew i could meet a cartoon character in real life... Shrek.

Misrepresenting their height, misrepresenting their boob size, misrepresenting even their face. OHH, and im not even mentioning the body shapers. the CORSETS. oh boyyy. ohh and fake nails fake eye lashes... like FFS woman.

yea, do what the fuck you wanna do. Any woman who opens her mouth or have a slight thought of "false advertising" when a man wears a MINI-heel should be slapped on the face with a bus. Sorry ladies. it's true.

[Battooot]

Glad i could help !

Whine

To be fair to any guy wearing this, I would say that wearing these shoes for a man is a bit like a woman wearing makeup. It's not necessarily lying.

The idea behind makeup was to accentuate and correct certain mild imperfections of the face because facial symmetry is attractive to humans. It's not like makeup is a mask for girls to 'hide their true face'. It just uses the person's face as a base and brings the best out from it (when applied well).

This shoe is no different. It uses the man's height as a base and it makes it stand out positively.

1) That image isn't fair because the woman is wearing high heels.
2) I don't understand the notion that pushup bras are false advertising. It's like saying it's false advertising to wear eyeshadow. Anyone who's seen a set of eyelids knows that eyelids aren't naturally black, and anyone who's seen a real pair of breasts knows they're not naturally pushed up and together, no matter how big they are. As a bisexual girl, I think the look is hot, but it's obviously artificial so if you think it's "false advertising" then you've never seen breasts before.

[yourspraytan]

You seem to be extremely insecure about your breast size. Almost in every post and comment

[mistixs]

@yourspraytan I said that I'm bi & I think the pushup bra look is hot on other women. How is that comment relevant to my feelings about my own breast size? If you're implying I wear pushup bras, I don't. I don't even wear makeup (except concealer to cover my acne).

[yourspraytan]

@mistixs I misread then. I am sorry

[Account]

I consider it a bit silly but if they feel comfortable wearing them, that is okay. It is not false advertising since everyone can notice that they are wearing heels in order to look taller.

I despise wearing heels even though I am short as fuck. I cannot stand them and they always hurt my feet.

[Daniela1982]

Then a girl in heels is guilty of the same thing.

[kim45456]

Men dont care about woman's height while women care about mens height

[LoU_Hades]

I'm tall hence I don't know how it is to be a manlet. However I think cheating to fulfill criteria of some girls is really desperate. If she doesn't like short guys, she isn't the girl for you. So simple is this.
Some girls don't like tall and fit guys because they think we are narcissistic egomaniacs. I don't met as man criteria of those girls and I'm okay with that.

[Anoniemus]

Yeah. Are you going to equate this with make-up? Make-up for some women is an accessory that you put on just to enhance your look. There's a difference between light make-up and caking it on (which is false advertising).

A man wearing fake heels? Makes him look taller than he is.

[disgustingweebtrash]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[John987654321]

I see where the argument can be made that it is, but I ultimately say it is not. For one thing, women wear heels to make *themselves* look taller, and that is not seen as false advertising. That's not a complaint, by any stretch, as I (and most men) like heels on a woman. I think they look great. They make the woman look taller, yet we still like women to wear them. I don't see the difference.

[Meropatrick]

No women fool us whith fake nail, fake hair, fake tan, fake boobs, fake chin implants, contouring face ( fake facial bone structure ), make up, fake nose ( nose job), fake lips ( fillers), fake eyelashes, heels ( fake height), fake booty! Ah did i say also fake orgasms?
a man getting back at them with this little trick is nothing.

[Unit1]

Women literally asked for it. Height being that much important.
Then businesses invented a way to generate money and make sales for men, who want to be taller but are unable to be.
Does it work?
I wouldn't know. Customers ought to tell the story.

You women asked for it.

[Anonymous]

Yea, but only so much as a padded bra or makeup for women. There are many things people do to make themselves seem more conventionally attractive than they are. Which is kinda a shame, as most people are not as unattractive as they think, and shouldn't feel the need to use products to give themselves a "boost".

[CubsterShura]

I honestly don't mind as long as it's not on a first date with a woman. If a dude feels more confident on stage or event or whatever wearing a bit higher heel shoes it's good for them.

[spuitkaas]

I wouldn't really care if he feels comfortable with them then it's fine. I wonder if shoes like these exist without looking like a clog though.

[Goahead76]

I'm 6'3 and I often wear boots that make me at least 6'5, is that cheating or false advertising? I guess I've never thought of this even, but I've also never really understood the attraction to tallness.

[DiscomfortZone]

Ofc it is. Like women wearing make up and push up bras, like women's photoshopped profile pics, like women's high heels... Shall I continue, or is it now clearer what was the action and what was the reaction?

[Shebleble]

Wait actually😂😂 if he is doing it to purpously look taller than yes. If he is just wearing them ti wear them its fine

[Vencam]

I'd say it's the same as a push-up bra. If one is false advertising, then the other one is too.

[G3tAClue]

No. But I guess if height is the most important thing to you, then maybe.

[glutendan]

It is but women dont feel a hint of shame over using makeup, filters, heels, or other appearance enhancing accessories.

It's sad but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire

[Disguise]

I wonder which country has such short men that they went this far to use high sole shoes.

[TohhhruAi]

Are the girls really saying that while they have makeup , Snapchat filters and 50 other different things altering their appearances

[padreflint]

Only so much as a padded bra, push up bra, high heels, colored contact lenses, etc. are. I would be more willing to say plastic surgery would be false advertising.

[Anonymous]

I mean women wear high heels, and everyone thinks it normal.

[FelicityJ]

At the end of the day when we all take our shoes off, That's what we have to "face"

[Kejaco]

Just be confident with what you have, I guarantee girls will dig confidence over your attempts to change yourself

[Liam_Hayden]

Just go swimming. He can't wear them in the water and her makeup will likely come off.

[clampfan101]

No more than high heels for women. They’re essentially the same thing.

[Raghav_Singh]

If he keeps it a secret than its false advertising. If he is open about wearing them then its perfectly fine and upto the girl.

[navyP]

No more so than women wearing make up or push-up bras

[esotericstory]

Yes it is. People need to stop faking their body's attributes, it leads to degeneracy.

[Tim-loves-it]

Thats what hair is for!
(Oops Mid '80s answer!)

[purplepoppy]

Girls would spot it straight away

[Bandit74]

Yeah it technically is.

[disgustingweebtrash]

if makeup isn't then this isn't lmfao

[Gedaria]

Women have been doing this for ever...

[BronzedAdonis]

No, it’s artificial enhancement

[Plitty-Tank]

It is false advertising for men or women to do it.

[Anonymous]

Hahaha i love you man. So true

[hobbledehoy]

Heard of high heels

[Jody89]

How would it be?

[DiversityHire]

Absolutely.
