I'm not sure if the awesome people at MyLiftKits.com knew I was a towering 5' 3" tall when they sent me two pairs of LiftKits for Chics to test out (I doubt it) or if they just figured my obsession for shoes extends to all shoe accessories: decorative, height enhancement, and/or pain relief (I'm guessing the latter). Either way, I took them for a test run and I'm hooked! See my thoughts below:
What are LiftKits?
LiftKits instantly and naturally increases your height up to two full inches. They are available for men and women (Chics) and not only do they give you height but they are also made of "high quality neoprene gel that helps decrease pressure on joints and relieve pressure from your spine." Height and comfort all in one.. sign me up please!
Additional Deets:
There are two types of LiftKits for men and women, both offering different height/fit options.
Original LiftKits (for Men):
Hi-Top: Gives 1.5-2" height increase. Good for boots and hi-top sneakers.
Lo-Top: Gives 1" height increase. Best with regular sneakers.

Universal: .75-1.25" height increase. Good for flat boots. (Men can wear these too.)
Pursuit of Shoes Thoughts:
I was given both the "Lo- Top" and "Universal" LiftKits to test out and of course my first question was "are these going to jeopardize the fit of my boots?" I don't do sneakers except to work out :). I tried the "Lo-Top" in my brown riding boots and noticed they fit a little snug so I switched to the "Universal." The "Universal" is by far my favorite because it fits really nicely and doesn't make your foot feel cramped. I think the "Lo-Top" is better for sneakers or shoes with laces that can be adjusted- just so you can loosen them up a bit.
My "Universal" LiftKits and I went to the mall and had a fantastically busy day of walking. They really do give you great heel support. My feet definitely weren't as achy as they usually are after hours of shopping/running errands and the whole time I had a little more confidence knowing I was almost 2" taller. It was lovely! I also wore them in my black OTK boots for a date night with my 6' 4" BF and my neck and back felt a whole lot better at the end of the night- looking up to talk to him definitely puts strain on my neck! (An additional LiftKits benefit? I think so.)

Here's how I look at it: You love heels for their height (and beauty of course) but sometimes you just want to wear your awesome flat boots. Instead of investing in $100+ pair of hidden wedge boots you can get the LiftKits for $20 and switch them between ALL of your boots! That leaves you $80+ to spend on another pair of fabulous shoes.
For the fellas: Unfortunately you can't wear heels to get that extra height (I mean you CAN but lets be real here) so LiftKits are the perfect way to get those extra 2" and some additional comfort.
Did you know LiftKits have been featured on the Tyra Show- Men's Addition, Good Day LA Style Files, and InTouch "Hollywood Hunks Step it Up"? Yes, they are fancy like that. Check them out here!
Let me know what you think. Could be a future give-away!
