They have long been nicknamed "dustmobiles".
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin again flashed in public in shoes that add at least 10 centimeters to his height. The shoes of the president of the aggressor country have long been jokingly nicknamed "dustmobiles", writes "Obozrevatel".
The network has circulated footage that was taken during one of Putin's press conferences. In the photo and video, the dictator again appeared in a strangely shaped shoe that has a characteristic curve from the heel.
"Those legendary 'dustbunnies' that give Putin 10 centimeters of height have been illuminated," the Crimean Wind channel said.
The impression is created that the Russian president walks ostensibly on socks, and all shoes are a solid platform.
How the low-heeled shoes worn by Putin
This is not the first time Putin has been seen wearing heeled shoes; rumors that he is complex about his short stature have been circulating for a long time. Therefore, the dictator has to wear special shoes with a hidden heel inside.
The main trick of this shoe is that it has a hidden lift inside the shoe - a heel, which is inserted between the sole and a special insole.
On the web you can find examples of companies that sew such shoes. They claim: with its help you can increase your height up to 12 centimeters "imperceptibly and instantly". The secret of height increase lies in the internal extension of the shoe - the height extender is shaped to fit into the back of the shoe.
With such shoes, you literally have to walk on your toes - which explains Putin's strange gait. Also proof that the Russian president wears special shoes to increase his height are dozens of videos on the network, on which it can be seen even with the naked eye.
What height Putin has and how they use staging in the frame
Putin's height is hardly the biggest oddity in the history of the Russian Federation. There is no official information about it. Unofficially it is known about 168 or 170 cm. However, there is also evidence that Putin's height may be closer to 152 cm.
In some photos, the dictator keeps on an equal footing with people whose height has passed 170 cm, but when there is a stranger behind the lens - Putin suddenly shrinks. Insecurity has led to the fact that he does not appear in public without high-heeled shoes
The Kremlin often uses photoshop to add "weight" to the Russian president next to colleagues who are clearly taller than him. In addition, they use proper framing and heels.
For example, here he is walking next to the head of China Si Jinping. Putin wore heeled shoes, though it didn't help him much.
And in this photo, Putin is with Serbian President Alexander Vucic, who is almost 2 meters tall. Here you can see how tall Putin really is.
In one of the photos with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is 185 centimeters tall, Putin appears just as tall. It is clearly photoshopped.
Some Western psychologists are convinced that Putin suffers from a severe form of "little man syndrome." Trying to hide his short stature, he becomes a victim of ridicule: millions of memes about doppelgangers, heels and photoshop are circulating online, but it doesn't always help and outside the Kremlin Putin often gets into ridiculous situations.
