What are lifted shoes called?

Elevator shoes are shoes that have thickened sections of the insoles (known as shoe lifts) under the heels to make the wearer appear taller, or “elevate” them as the name suggests. Unlike high-heeled shoes, the component of elevator shoes that increases the wearer’s height is inside the shoe, hiding it from observers.

How do you add height to dress shoes?

They’re called “lifts”: insoles that you put in your flat-heeled shoes to raise your heels a bit and add anywhere from a half-inch to an inch or so of height. You can buy them at shoe stores or on the Internet.

Why do people wear elevator shoes?

The main benefit to owning a pair of elevator shoes is to increase your height without appearing obvious to everyone around you. Elevator shoes have a make-up similar to women’s wedges; a thick layer of material in the heel and sole lifts you a couple inches off of the ground, giving your height an extra boost.
