    Offer Details: Max Tall is the revolutionary, ultra comfortable shoe insert that gives you up to two inches in height so you can look taller instantly.

    Complete with arbitration link just in case the stupidity of this product and potential injury arouses an urge to litigate:

    $27 for a pair of heel raises. Wow.

    Really interesting regarding the arbitration agreement - I wonder if this is to become common place from here on in (for footwear fads in particular?)

    amazing how all the users look slimmer with them as well :rolleyes:
     
  4. Hilarious video. More confidence and more success!

    Sounded like a feminine product ad. The ones when women at that time of month suffer a sudden urge to go bareback horse riding or salsa dancing.

    Ian I saw the ad first on tv and just laughed...then I ceased laughing after thinking about it a bit. I seriously doubt anyone with any sort of medical qualification was asked to assess the notion of advocating placing a person's foot in an equine position long-term? Given what we already know about high heels and foot pathology, why should the ladies have all the fun, right? It is obviously aimed at men and given the disclaimer, perhaps they already know what we know?

    Peter and Robert, I say this is the new vocation for the slim, dapper Dr. Spooner! A nice pair of chaps would compliment the "confidence" of the ad...;)

    A 3" increase in height to get a girl would require a 6" insert if they do actually squash 50% and create a vacuum?!

    That guy needs to lose 30lbs and get some conditioning in, i have the perfect solution, barefoot running.

    I will consider adding this product without the hoopla for my patients gifted as extreme examples of the rigid rearfoot type.

    They are obviously dangerous and hilarious for most others.

    Functional foot typing works again.

    Steve, now you've gone and excited Dennis:eek:....or maybe the thought of plugging his product on every thread he posts on AND dropping the word rigid is just too much for him? :dizzy:
