Elevator shoes for the office?
I am 163cm / 5'4'' and am looking into elevator shoes which can help a bit with height in the office. I know a lot of people will say to just be more confident but a lot of people just don't realize how short males are looked upon in US/European offices when the average height is like 20 cm more. This is especially true for client facing roles.
Nevertheless, does anyone have some recommendation for any elevator shoes? I have found the below websites but not sure how good quality they are. Alternatively any "custom" shoe maker in London which could just make the shoes to give you something like 5-7cm more.

You were hired whilst being 5'4 so what is the problem?
That’s certainly just insecurity. If anyone is judging it is a reflection of their own insecurities as well. Plus, heigh boosters barely make a difference. You’re the only one who would even notice the height difference. Competency comes in all shapes and sizes.
