High Heels For Men: Elevator Shoes

By G. Tan


I have always thought women are so lucky because they can increase their height 2 ~ 6" instantly by wearing high heels. Not only do they look taller, but they can do so freely and without criticism. This gives girls a big advantage over shorter guys since guys can not put on high heels. Now there are high heels for men, the elevator shoes.

Elevator shoes works like high heels for girls, but with one very significant difference. Whereas girls's high heels are open and obvious, elevator shoes are discrete and concealed. This enables a shorter man to catch up to the girls in heels easily and immediately.

How do elevator shoes work?

High heels for guys has a special height enhancing insole that are much thicker than the regular insole. The insoles can be several different materials, but generally made from some kind of foam or rubber material and is anywhere from 1/2" to 3". Add this to the normal 1/2" to 1" heels, and you're talking about 1 ~ 4 inches of immediate lift!

The very best part is, the lift comes from the insoles so it's hidden and discrete. Although you can add the special insoles to practically any kind of shoes, shoes not created for the insoles will be awkward, bulky, and your feet will often tend to slip out. Elevator shoes are made with the height boosting insole in mind so it will accommodate the insoles without indications of this lift from the exterior.

Are they comfortable?

Ask any woman if high heels are comfortable and 100 % would inform you it is not. Even with a low lift insole of 1", your heels will be above the soles of your feet so it will never ever feel as natural or comfortable as a pair of running shoes. The 2" and above insoles feel precisely like I would imagine a girl's high heeled shoes would feel like.

Some girls claim platform shoes are rather comfortable, and they most likely are because the entire length of the foot is on a flat plane instead of the heel being higher. However, you lose stability from the additional lift which makes running or any kind of exertion challenging. Unfortunately, high heels for guys can not achieve this platform effect, since platform shoes, no matter how discretely made, will be obvious from the outside.

Who cares? You're not going to play basketball in these shoes and they're not entirely unbearable to wear that you can't walk around in them. You must sacrifice a little bit of function for form.

The Bad News

The bad news is, if you're ever in a position where you have to take off your shoes, you will be caught red handed. This is embarrassing to say the least and does not look favorably on your image and ego. What will you say to your new girlfriend when she realizes you're 3" shorter than when she initially met you?

For smaller men, these discrete high heels for men will be a wardrobe essential, especially for an evening out. My suggestion is to stay with a smaller lift of around 1". This will make you look and feel significantly taller and will be comfortable enough for long term use. The majority of people also will not really notice the difference with smaller sized lifts so you can use it with more confidence. Just don't forget to come clean to your new girlfriend so you do not need to reply to that awkward interrogation.
