User Reviews
I wasn't sure what to expect from these since similar ones I have tried in the past have not been great, but I was completely impressed with these shoes the moment I took them out of the box! They are fantastic!Here are just some of the things I love about them:1. They are high quality, nicely made shoes. Real leather, real leather uppers, and the bottoms are rubber and firm. This makes them a little heavier than your typical dress shoe, but this is for a good reason!2. They are not very obviously height increasing. If you want to ad some to your height but don't want to wear platforms or other things that make it super obvious you're wearing lifts, then these are for you. The design of them is superior to any shoe of this type that I have seen. The heel is that of a normal dress shoe type, so the height boost is your little secret! :)3. They are comfortable. I wore them out to a nice dinner the day they arrived...after dinner we walked around for a while and I was still very comfortable by the end of the night. There was no break-in period required.4. They are classy looking enough to wear with dress pants or even a suit, but you could easily wear them with jeans too. I wore them with dress pants that are slightly too long for me...I usually weara pair of designer loafers with a heel on them so it's not as noticeable...with these shoes, the pants fit a little better at the bottom and they look fantastic! They truly look like they could from a high end designer (similar in style to shoes I've seen from Ferragamo or Santoni)5. I got the brown one and they are a classic, timeless design that will never go out of style.6. Comes very nicely boxed - each shoe with a bag. You get a shoe horn and a very nice catalog of all of their other shoes as well. Would make a great gift!Overall, if you are looking for a shoe that will give you a height boost without it looking silly or obvious...and you want them to be appropriate to wear to work, date nights or anywhere, then you absolutely cannot go wrong with these. I highly recommend them...they are worth every penny of the price and then some.
A little heavy but otherwise good
Been looking for a brown pair of dress shoes and these are perfect. They’re a nice dark brown and have a nice little shine to them. It’s a great change of pace instead of always wearing black.
These are fancy dress shoes with some cool features. Each shoe arrived individually wrapped in their own cloth sleeve. They are really nice looking with the brown leather. The coolest thing about these shoes is that they make my husband look a few inches taller without anyone being able to tell. There is no obvious high heel thing going on because the part the elevates his heel is hidden inside the shoe. My husband is 5'7" (he says), so adding a couple inches wouldn't hurt. He's taller than me, but just barely and it makes me not want to wear heels around him and tower over him, but these shoes will help with that. I kind of wish he had these for our wedding day and in our wedding photos.
I recently stepped up my style game with the CALTO Men's Invisible Height Increasing Elevator Shoes, and they've been a fantastic addition to my wardrobe. These shoes not only give me an extra 2.8 inches in height but also do so with absolute comfort. The premium leather exterior exudes elegance, perfect for formal events or a professional environment. They're surprisingly comfortable for elevator shoes, with adequate cushioning and support for long wear. However, they do require a break-in period, and the sizing can be a bit off if you're not careful with the measurements, so I recommend checking the size chart or ordering half a size larger for a sure fit. Despite this, they've boosted my confidence significantly, and I've received several compliments on them. A great buy for anyone looking to stand a bit taller.
They fit perfectly, and you can't even tell that they're elevator shoes. They're really well made and look great
We are so impressed by the quality of these shoes and how much height they add. We chose a formal style but FYI this brand is US made and they have an entire catalog with all types/styles of height adding shoes for men.
These work shoes are very nice looking with excellent leather! I can tell these are well made and will last a long time, which is always key when getting new work shoes. I recently also got some leather conditioner and will use it to care for and keep these ones in good condition even longer than I had thought. The fit did seem to come a bit larger than expected although it's not a deal breaker for me because I just put on a slightly thicker pair of socks and I'm good to go. All in all, I'm very happy with this pair of work shoes!
