High Heels For Men: Elevator Shoes

By G. Tan


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

Elevator shoes works like high heels for women, but with one extremely significant distinction. Whereas girls's high heels are obvious and open, elevator shoes are discrete and hidden. This allows a shorter guy to catch up to the women in heels easily and immediately.

How do elevator shoes work?

High heels for guys has an unique height enhancing insole that are much thicker than the regular insole. The insoles can be many different materials, but usually 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 best part is, the lift comes from the insoles so it's concealed and discrete. Although you can add the special insoles to almost any kind of shoes, shoes not developed for the insoles will be awkward, bulky, and your feet will have a tendency to slip out. Elevator shoes are made with the height boosting insole in mind so it will accommodate the insoles without any indicators of this lift from the outside.

Are they comfortable?

Ask any girl 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 feel as comfortable or natural as a pair of running shoes. The 2" and above insoles feel exactly like I would imagine a girl's high heeled shoes would feel like.

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

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

The Bad News

The bad news is, if you're ever in a position where you need to take off your shoes, you will be caught red handed. This is unpleasant to say the least and does not look favorably on your image and ego. What exactly will you tell your brand-new girlfriend when she finds out you're 3" shorter than when she first met you?

For shorter men, these discrete high heels for men will be a wardrobe essential, especially for an evening out. My recommendation is to stick to a smaller lift of around 1". This will make you look and feel visibly 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 wear it with more confidence. Just don't forget to come clean to your brand-new girlfriend so you do not need to reply to that awkward inquisition.
