How much will going from 5’8 to 5’11 help?

Or realistically will it barely make a difference unless 6’2+?

The thing is I don’t really care about my height but tempted to buy some timberland boots and air force 1’s while wearing 2inch lifts purely as an experiment.

Just get a lean semi muscular body if you want girls. They don't care about height as much as they say.

Easy to tell when guys are frauding height that way. Don’t be insecure in this body God gave you.

I've seen plenty of confident 5'9'' guys pump and dump the type of girls who say they want a tall guy.

A LOT.

5'11" is basically 6'2" when you're wearing shoes with a generous lift.

I'm 5'10" in the morning, I shrink to about 5'9.5" after a long day of siting in an office chair. And I can confirm to you that just shrinking 1/2 an inch causes people to treat me drastically different than they would treat a guy that's visually 5'10".

It's a minor 1/2 an inch, but yet people can still detect that minor change even on a subconscious level.

When I wear shoes with a 2" heel, people treat me like I'm a damn VIP just because I appear tall.

the only one on earth who is aware or cares about that half inch is you. it's all in your head. no one is treating you any different.
if they are it's because you've just spent a 'long day of sitting in an office chair' and are probably the very picture of a beaten down, tired corporate drone.

Those height inserts don’t give what they claim. The two piece inserts give about an inch of height, they advertise they are a 2 inch boost measure but in reality measure 1.5 inches and then you compress into it.

You can’t wear them in low tops so you need to wear either boots or high tops.

I ran the experiment before, I got a pair of insets and put them in a pair of military boots. I’m 5’7.5 barefoot mid day. With military boots I am 5’8.75 and with the insert in I was 5’9.75 The reality is most people are walking around in footwear that gives them around an inch. Either they wear a boot or a basketball sneaker. Most people aren’t wearing flat sneakers. So you using inserts would take you from a 5’8 guy to a 5’9 guy in the perception of others.

I don’t even use the inserts, I would feel like a fraud. But I bought them to see how they felt and if it would make any difference. In my opinion they didn’t, I feel short without them and I felt short with them. Yes I felt a little less short but factor in the bit of discomfort from them and the feeling of being a fraud and it wasn’t even worth the inch boost. I usually wear low top Air Force 1s or Blackhawk military boots. I feel better owning my height and being my authentic self.

Wrong, boyo, so very wrong... I actually WFH which basically means I don't do anything but get paid a mogger salary... I live a life of leisure, so no, I'm not a typical burnt-out office cuck... My problem is that the good Lord, in his infinite wisdom, decided to curse me with manletism....

I have a handsome face with a full head of hair, if it wasn't for my manlet status, I'd be banging super models on the daily....

You can’t even use all the inserts they come with. I tried them on any pair I had and anything more than one insert and I can’t even put the shoe on. I can use one insert on some shoes but only one. Which probably gives you 1” if that. You will get a bigger increase on the shoe itself than the insert.
