Hi doc.i'm short, i would like to use layers under my shoe to increase my height.which is the perfect height that i can get without causing foot damage?

heels: I feel you should only use shoes to raise your height. Too much mass in your shoes will cause problems for your toes, top of your shoes or blisters to your heels. Make sure you keep your shoes at the same height to prevent any back issues.
