| Apr 23, 2015 at 4:09 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | @Oldcat - from Wookieepedia: Additionally, the tall boots were a poor fit for his artificial feet, whose toes lacked the electrostatic sensitivity of his equally false fingertips. These devices made it even more difficult for him to move with ease, much less with any grace. Raised in the heel, the cumbersome footwear canted him slightly forward, forcing him to move with exaggerated caution lest he stumble or topple over | |
| Apr 23, 2015 at 4:08 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | @Oldcat - He has no legs. His lower half is all mechanical. | |
| Apr 16, 2015 at 12:37 | comment | added | PointlessSpike | If his legs were removed, the replacements could be slightly longer. | |
| Apr 16, 2015 at 4:47 | comment | added | user31178 | @Oldcat I've worn work/steel toe boots that have at least 1 inch soles, and my boots don't need to hide or protect mechanical apparatuses. Also, if you look at the pics of Vader getting electrocuted by the Emperor, you can see that his helmet is at least an inch higher than the top of his head. There's 2-4 inches accounted for there. The rest could easily be distributed among his shins, thighs, and lower spine/waist. | |

Regardless, the soles alone - even unarmored - are quite thick and would add height. As anyone who's worn thick boots and/or armor would tell you - it all adds up to make you a few inches taller. | |
