How do elevator shoes work?

Why elevator shoes?

We designed Faretti height increasing shoes for men who want to gain a few inches and feel considerably more confident.

They work beautifully day to day, but equally well for important occasions such as a wedding. At the office, on a date, at a birthday party or in a job interview.

These are not only for gentlemen of shorter stature, but for anyone who wants a slimmer, more upright silhouette, a more assured stride and a distinctly better look.

Although our shoes look like traditional footwear from the outside, they conceal a number of innovative solutions. They keep the natural proportions of ordinary shoes while discreetly adding up to 4.7 inches (12 cm) to your height.

Every element has been developed to preserve maximum comfort, while our own height increasing construction — hidden entirely inside the shoe — remains completely invisible to everyone around you. Discretion guaranteed.

Faretti footwear is made from the finest full-grain calfskin and cowhide. Every pair is handmade with the greatest care and attention to the smallest detail.

The moment you put on a pair of Faretti shoes, you will feel more confident, look slimmer and more upright, and walk with a surer step.

Features of our height increasing shoes

A bespoke insert adding 2 to 4.7 inches (5–12 cm) in height, with full comfort and complete discretion. It provides excellent foot stabilisation and absorbs pressure as you walk.
The insert runs the full length of the shoe and sits hidden within the sole — weight is distributed evenly and your gait stays natural.
From the outside they look entirely natural, exactly like ordinary shoes.
