I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, specializing in orthotics and prosthetics. I often have to build lifts into shoes to accommodate people with limb length discrepancies. He definitely wears lifted shoes, but the most you can really hide without making it very noticeable is about an inch, maybe an inch and a half.
With the type of dress shoe he wears and with his age, there’s no way he’d be able to manage a 3" heel lift. If I were to guess, he’s prob got a 3/4 to a 1" lift in his shoes. Which would be more than enough to create an anterior pelvic tilt.
He wears shoes that add 3 inches to his height. It’s why he’s alway hunched forward. (They’re basically concealed platform heels.)
Just saying…. He’s even shorter than we guess.

The hunched over thing can also be a symptom of dementia
