Equal Height Shoes

Shoes that make everyone the same height.

I’m really curious about what it would be like to be at such a party. I’d love to see how much our different heights unconsciously play into our interactions with other people. I’m shorter than average (5 foot 6), so I unconsciously raise my gaze when I’m speaking with someone who’s taller than me.

But that’s only when we’re both standing, and there are many situations where you and your speaking companion aren’t both standing. You might be sitting down together at lunch or over drinks, or sitting on the couch, or someone might visit your cubicle and stand while you’re sitting in your chair at work. Still… interesting.
