have seen yet another brand of lifting shoes, which seem to be originally German. Stupidly enough, I've forgotten to write down the actual name.. seemed to be Allianz. Quite a bit cheaper than the Adistar shoes and more importantly, with a softer upper sole... and a higher heel.

I've been looking into having the heel raised of the adistar shoe I'm having but don't know how much extra heel is needed.
Anyone who's done it and knows what is recommended?

I'm thinking to raise it by about half the height of a 1.25kg disk (for narrow cuffs) that seems to be about 2cm .. so that'd be a 1 cm (or 10mm or 0.4 inch) raise. Does that sound right?
