LEVANO's 8cm UP elevator shoes are the men's collection that adds the most height. It consists of two cowhide leather dress shoes and two genuine leather sandals, and because the height comes from an internal insole structure, the sole you see from the outside stays close to the thickness of an ordinary shoe. It is for men who want a taller, sharper look in a suit, at ceremonies, or in summer outfits.
The dress-shoe styles no20 and no21 are ¥20,980 (tax included). Since dress shoes already have a 2–3cm heel, the visible difference with an 8cm lift is only about 5–6cm, which makes them well suited to business meetings, weddings, and the coming-of-age ceremony. The sandal styles no15 and no16 are genuine leather at ¥19,800 (tax included). Their design covers the instep to hide any platform feel, so you can gain 8cm even with shorts or wide-leg pants.
- 8cm UP Cowhide Leather Elevator Business Shoes no20 | ¥20,980 (tax included). About 445g per shoe. For suits at business meetings, formal occasions, and the coming-of-age ceremony.
- 8cm UP Cowhide Leather Elevator Loafers no21 | ¥20,980 (tax included). At about 430g they are lighter than no20, and work well with a jacket or on dates.
- 8cm UP Genuine Leather Sandals no15 | ¥19,800 (tax included). Genuine leather that covers the instep, for everyday summer wear.

As a guide, choose the same size as the sneakers you usually wear. If the size does not fit, you can exchange it once within 7 days of delivery (return shipping is paid by the customer; we cover the shipping of the replacement pair). If you are unsure about the height, see 7cm UP; to compare dress shoes, take a look at Business Elevator Shoes as well.
