Something I’ve noticed when wearing lifts at a height of 5’9-ish, is that when standing next to people taller than me, my shoulders are sometimes higher than theirs. Obviously, even if you’re technically the same height as people, artificially adding height to your lower extremities doesn’t mean the height of your shoulders, neck, and head match up with some e who is actually that height — which works the same weather you’re wearing lifts or have had LL.
Of course, the answer to this question is dependant on how much you’re lengthening by, but lets assume you only do one segments and go for the usual 5-6cm; are people going to notice that discrepancy between your the upper bodies of two people technically at the same height but with different proportions? I mean, how much do those sort of proportions differ between people anyway? Can some people be the same height naturally, but have naturally higher shoulders because more of their height is distributed in their legs than their spine?
Would appreciate some insight. Thanks!
