Elevator shoes may not cut it, but apparently camera angles do, because he doesn't look at all short in the new Bond films (and he's only 2-3 inches shorter than the previous Bonds, anyway). And you may say he's "wrong for the part," but almost everyone else seems to agree he's doing a stellar job, myself included.
Really, anything about Bond being too short, or blonde, or being late 40s instead of late 30s (I don't think Clive Owen looks like he's in his late 40s at all, but whatever), really has nothing to do with this. The character has a core, but is malleable around the edges. Any character that both Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton can play clearly has some wiggle room, so acting like these little details are automatic disqualifiers is a mite silly.
