A Life-Saver for Troopers!

[xmart]

As we all know..good body proportions play a key role for perfection in costuming. Every inch adds to perfection.

I'm around 5'8..a bit short for a stormtrooper. Exactly 2 inches short for a Stormtrooper..

I have been searching for a solution for the last 3 years since I started trooping and I recently discovered these babies, at first I thought it might be a scam like one of those "AS SEEN ON TV" products..but for only 20 bucks, I had nothing to lose..so went ahead and ordered these..results? Very suprising! They really do work pretty well! Takes a day to get use to them, but after that you actually forget that you are even wearing them! Oh la la..you're 2" taller..and best part is it's NOT noticable from outside!!! + Air sole for ultimate comfort – wear them all day long!

And before you ask..yes - they DO work well with Stormtrooper boots! It comes with an extra sole that lets you choose your required height between 1.3" - 2"..I use 2" in my trooper boots and it works fine!

So if you're 5'8 - when you put these on - you become 6' (exact same height as troopers in the movie!)

So they really work huh? Being 5'8" myself, I wouldn't mind being 6' in costume. Got a link?

I'm 6'4'' but it would help get me close to Vader height. Link please.

The stormtroopers were all sorts of heights in the movies

I hate to be captain obvious, but if you're 5'8" and they are 2" lifts, then your height would be 5'10", not 6 feet (which would be 5'12" )

someone has done the math

I hate to be captain obvious, but if you're 5'8" and they are 2" lifts, then your height would be 5'10", not 6 feet (which would be 5'12" )

I think he may have forgotten to mention his height + the risers + the boots get him to 6'-0". ?

Beat me to it. Also, about the titleof this thread. Life saver? It's a pretty good tip but I don't know that I would call it a "life saver". Also, who said that 6 feet is the official Trooper height?

 

[Vaderman]

I thought there would be candy

I never new the official height of a stormtrooper was 6' -- maybe I'll get some armor after all!
Thanks for the tip. Now, I have to ask: are you wearing them all day in your "normal " shoes too?

 

[altername]

I thought they were molded more for a 5'10" type person.

Thats right but the actors were all different heights

 

[troopermaster]

Don't worry too much about your height. Look at the varying heights of the these troopers!

That's what I understood when I read the first post.

They won't be called 'stormtrooper boots' if they're flat bottom shoes.

they dont have 2" heels though

 

[SaberFreak]

they dont have 2" heels though

My bad.

I just checked my boots and they all have 1 inch heels

Ok so 5' 11" with the risers...What's an inch between friends? Ok that didn't come out right... :lol

...and if that photo designates "canon", then I do not have to worry about keeping my shin-guards straight.

Check out the guy in the center of the pic /front row.

(sorry for the hijack)

 

[Clutch]

Ideal height: 5'11" Go over or under that and the armor will start bunching up or spacing out.
