What are Elevator Shoes?

Also referred to as lift shoes or height-increasing shoes, from the outside, elevator shoes look like any other footwear. They may have a heel, but it is not excessively high - it just looks like an average heel on an average shoe.

Inside the shoe and positioned under the foot, is a raised platform or sole that invisibly adds height to the shoe, giving the wearer the appearance of being taller.

While these types of shoes are available for women and guys, there are many more options in this type of footwear for men than there are for women. Presumably this is because off-the-rack women's footwear offers more heel options.
