How much height do we gain by standing on our toes?

Instead of doing LL, I decided I'll just stand on my toes all the time and appear taller that way...


Just kidding, but for the sake of seeing my possible post-LL proportions (I want 4-8 CM depending on what proportions allow) outside of computer mockups, I was wearing long jeans and standing on my tip toes, both with and without shoes. How much height gain do you all think this simulates?

I wear a size 12 shoe by the way, so my feet are on the larger side.

I've been trying the exact same thing!  I just measure myself  with and without standing on my toes, with the help of a measuring tape and a wall. It's not 100% accurate way to measure.  My measurements for the differences range from 6.5cm to 7.5cm.    So I reckon it around 7cm.

It depends on how much you push up with the toes, If you try to push it at maximum, i think around 5 cm is gained, with shoes, about 7 cm.

Btw, i also did this all the time in preparation for LL, to see my proportions  How much height do we gain by standing on our toes?

5cm without shoes and 7cm with shoes seems accurate to me, but it really is hard to measure with a tape measure while also trying to stand as straight as possible on tip-toes,co results may be inaccurate.

It depends on the size of your feet. I am 5ft9 and my shoe size is 10. I got around 7.5.8.5 cms so it should be around 3 inches.
