Detailed Review
The CALTO Men's Invisible Height Increasing Elevator Shoes stand out in terms of practicality and style. The non-lacing structure allows for a snug fit, which is best when worn tighter initially, as the genuine soft leather will mold to your foot shape over time, enhancing comfort. The elegant brogue cap toe design adds a touch of sophistication, making these shoes perfect for formal events or business meetings.
Many users appreciate the discreet height boost provided by the thick rubberized sole combined with the unique design. This feature allows you to gain those coveted extra inches without feeling self-conscious about wearing elevator shoes.
However, some users have noted that the fit can vary, especially if you're accustomed to a looser style of footwear. It's advisable to consider trying a size up if you prefer a roomier fit. Additionally, while the standard width accommodates most users, those with wider feet might find them a bit constricting.

User Reviews
The pointy toes don't bother me as I am notorious for wearing pointy dress shoes. My Goth friends like them too! But they doo almost look like cowboy boots until I cross my legs and you can see the whole shoe. I use them when I go dancing to keep up with or ahead of the ladies in their high heels. I have one lady friend who is the same height as I am, 5'10" She wears flats or low heels almost all the time though. But with these we are more Stereotypically proportionate together. I have another pair of Caltos with 3.6 inch lift whether that equates to my being 6'1" actually but what i noticed is that they are too difficult for me to dance in. They are okay for walking but it will make a man respect how adept some ladies are in high heels! These are a more comfortable lift height for me.
