Wedding Elevator Shoes

LEVANO's elevator shoes for weddings are a collection of cowhide leather dress shoes and loafers that pair easily with a suit or tuxedo. Because the height comes from the insole structure inside the shoe, they do not look like platform shoes in photos or when you are standing, and you can choose between a 5cm and an 8cm lift to suit your role, whether you are the groom, a guest, or heading to the after-party.

The two things to decide on are the height and the shoe style. As a guide, grooms and anyone who wants a solid boost should go for the 8cm no20 or no21 (¥20,980 (tax included) each), while guests who prioritize a natural look should choose the Japan-made cowhide leather 5cm no29 (¥29,680 (tax included)). All three are cowhide leather, and the laceless loafer no21 is well suited to after-parties where shoes often come off.

• 8cm UP Cowhide Leather Elevator Business Shoes no20 | ¥20,980 (tax included). A clean business-shoe silhouette that suits a groom's tuxedo or formal wear. About 445g per shoe, 24.0–27.5cm.
• 8cm UP Cowhide Leather Elevator Loafers no21 | ¥20,980 (tax included). Laceless and easy to slip on and off, for attending as a guest or the after-party. About 430g per shoe, 24.0–27.5cm.
• 5.0cm UP Cowhide Leather Casual Shoes no29 | ¥29,680 (tax included). Made in Japan from cowhide leather, about 390g per shoe. For guests who value a natural look. 24.0–26.5cm.

Avoid wearing them for the first time on the day itself; wearing them a few times beforehand to break them in will give you peace of mind. 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).
