Tom Cruise's shoes are also skilfully shaped to hide well under his trouser hems without having a clumsy break. Perhaps there is untapped potential in extending the length of your pants.

gcardell, OP asks a question and if you can't answer it then STFU. Posting humorless pics can be annoying the third or fourth time around.

To the OP, have you thought of going bespoke? I can't imagine it being too difficult to sneak in a few cm's at Lobb's or Beluti's if you can engineer the shoes from scratch. Personally, I think you have a solid height. Any taller, you won't be able to help old ladies crossing the street.

Lordosis (Wikipedia) I hope your doctor has given you permission to wear the funny shoes because wearing those things with your medical condition without oversight sounds pretty ******* stupid to me. How about asking a specialist about appropriate shoes and requirements for your condition?
