LEVANO's Japan-made elevator shoes are four men's height-boosting models, no28 to no31, with cowhide leather uppers produced in Japan. They add a natural-looking 5 to 5.5 cm, and because the lift comes from the insole structure inside the shoe, they don't look like platform shoes. Their hallmarks are the feel of cowhide leather and a light weight of about 340 to 480 g. They're for anyone looking for one pair they can wear to job interviews, at work and on the golf course.
The right choice comes down to the occasion. As a guide, go with no29 at ¥29,680 (tax included) for job hunting, coming-of-age ceremonies and business; no28 at ¥22,860 (tax included) if you want one pair for both golf and everyday wear; no31 at ¥30,480 (tax included), weighing about 340 g, if lightness is your priority; and the no30 sandals at ¥21,000 (tax included) for everyday summer wear.
