I have always thought girls are so lucky because they can boost their height 2 ~ 6" instantaneously by putting on high heels. Not only do they look taller, however they can do so openly and without criticism. This gives women a big advantage over short men because guys can not put on high heels. But now there are high heels for guys, the elevator shoes.
Elevator shoes works like high heels for women, but with one extremely important difference. Whereas women'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 men has a special height increasing insole that are much thicker than the normal insole. The insoles can be several different materials, but generally made from some kind of foam or rubber material and can be anywhere from 1/2" to 3". Add this to the typical 1/2" to 1" heels, and you're talking about 1 ~ 4 inches of instantaneous lift!
The best part is, the lift results from the insoles so it's concealed and discrete. Although you can add the special insoles to practically any kind of shoes, shoes not created for the insoles will be uncomfortable, bulky, and your feet will tend to slip out. Elevator shoes are made with the height increasing insole in mind so it will accommodate the insoles without signs of this lift from the exterior.
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 natural or comfortable 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 women say platform shoes are quite comfortable, and they probably are since the entire 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 challenging. Unfortunately, high heels for men can not achieve this platform effect, since platform shoes, no matter how discretely made, will be apparent from the exterior.
But, who cares? You're not going to play basketball in these shoes and they're not totally unbearable to wear that you cannot 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 need to remove 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 exactly will you tell your new girlfriend when she notices you're 3" smaller than when she first met you?
For short men, these discrete high heels for men will be a wardrobe essential, especially for an evening out. My recommendation is to stay with a smaller lift of around 1". This will make you feel and look significantly taller and will be comfortable enough for long term use. Most 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 new girlfriend so you do not have to answer that embarrassing interrogation.
