No heels needed: 5 sneakers that add height without discomfort
Wearing heels is a top-of-mind option for women looking to add more height. But let's face it, they're not exactly made for long walks, busy days, or the Metro Manila landscape. In fact, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Emilia Halili Tanchuling said in a 2009 report that women who wear heels place their "body in an abnormal position." "When you're wearing heels, your foot is thrust forward into your toes and on the ball of the feet. So, what the body does is it tries to compensate. That is already a postural problem," Dr. Tanchuling said. That is not to say you should avoid wearing heels altogether, but to find a pair that won't compromise your comfort. "Wear shoes with an inch or two at the most because this relaxes your heel cord," the doctor advised. For those looking to rest their feet from wearing heels, today's sneaker designs offer the best of both worlds: comfort and a few extra inches. Whether you're looking to hit your 10,000 steps goal or simply running some errands on a busy day, here are five sneakers with elevation for that added lift. 1. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Double Stack The Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Lift Double Stack offers 2 inches of platform height for its wearer. Think classic Chuck Taylors, but with a few inches for those looking to stand taller. Website. 2. New Balance 740 The New Balance 740 is more subtle in giving you a boost of about 1.2 inches. It can also be used for running, assuring you that it's comfortable for casual walking and other physical activities. Foot Locker. 3. Adidas Gazelle Bold The Adidas Gazelle Bold is similar to its classic predecessor but with a 1.8-inch height boost platform, three layers higher than the original design. Website. 4. Nike Air Max 90 The Nike Air Max 90 adds about 1.5 inches to the wearer's height due to its thick midsole and the iconic visible unit of the Air Max at the heel. It's available in various colorways, and you can also design your own via Nike's website. Website. 4. Asics GT-2000 13 ATC The Asics GT-2000 13 ATC is also on the subtle side with a 1.4-inch boost for the wearer's height. Similar to the New Balance 740, this pair can also be used for running and other physical activities. Website.

CNCPTS and New Balance unveil new money-themed sneaker
Fresh off of their 'Brut' collaboration, CNCPTS and New Balance are joining forces once more for a new design that differs from what we've seen from the pair. While their previous releases tackled the New Balance 740 model and paid homage to different drinks, their newest sneaker takes another turn. This time around, CNCPTS and New Balance are referencing the USD 1,000 banknote, of which only two bills are known to exist. One of these banknotes sold in an auction in 2014 for $3 million is as rare as they get. Besides referencing this rare collectible, the sneaker's release coincides with Saint Patrick's Day, making it an all-around green affair. Aptly named the '1000 Mile, ' the new collaborative sneaker contains colorful accents and well-thought-out details. Although this release won't be as rare as the bill it references, users should expect these designs to fly off the shelves. To properly honor the $1000 bill, CNCPTS is using the New Balance 1000 silhouette as the base for the new collaboration. The sneaker takes shape with various shades of green hues in an inverted standard mesh upper and synthetic overlay design. The segmented sole houses the ABZORB cushioning in the heel and forefront, with a Stability Web midfoot shank. Inspired by the red seal on the front of the bill, the sneaker also has hot pink accents on its branding. Delivered in a custom shoe box that mimics the bill, the overall theme is clear and visible from every angle. While the starting retail price is still unknown, the sneaker will launch via CNCPTS' website on March 14, with stores holding raffles in the days before.
