Every boxer knows this fact: height can make a difference when it comes to the fight or sparring. A height advantage can make a number of positive differences which are explained in this article.

So, the important question is… how can a boxer gain a height advantage over his opponent even though he knows he cannot grow any taller or even worry about going over the weight limit for the different weight classifications?

Well, many boxers wouldn’t want me to tell you the answer to this question. Why? Because they are already using this solution and do not want their competitors to use it too. The solution is a height increasing insole. This simple device can instantly increase anyone’s height up to 3 inches. The height increasing insole, otherwise known as a heel lift or shoe lift is placed within the shoe and literally behaves as a stepping stone for the user to elevate themselves in a safe manner.

These extra 3 inches can mean a lot to a boxer. It means they not only have a big psychological advantage over the opponent who i looking up at them, but it also means they physically do not have to work as hard during the fight. This is because they do not have to raise their arms as high as they normally would have to and when aiming for the head, boxers would be punching horizontally instead of upwards. This results in a tremendous difference in the amount of power they are able to supply for each punch. the alignment of the shoulder joints, elbows and fists means this horizontal punch can have devastating effects.

The heel lifts, which fit easily within any shoe also can be adjusted with multi layers. A spokesperson for ‘Lifties’ a worldwide known supplier of these insoles said “adjustable shoe lifts are the best type of height increasing insole because they allow the user to adjust them to how he desires, this is important because they need to find the right height that suits them best, or they may want to gradually hide the increase by adding a layer after a certain period of time for a gradual height increase”. A lot of people around the world not just boxers are using such lifts with other potentially benefiting from them. From volleyball and basketball players to people going to interviews or even people going to social gatherings, heel lifts can benefit anyone who requires a little additional height or finds themselves asking ‘how can I grow taller?’
