Beverly Hills Shoes

With platform shoes out of fashion it is unlikely that you will find them in the men’s section in any shoe store. Platforms, however, are still available for women and continue to be in fashion. For men who are looking to buy these shoes to gain height there is a better and more respectable alternative, elevator shoes. Men’s platforms went out of fashion almost 25 years ago and today only a few finicky celebrities wear them, for the shock value they possess.

Elevator shoes can increase your height instantly without anyone noticing a difference in your heel height, and the best part is that they are available in a variety of contemporary styles and designs. These height increasing shoes are comfortable and trendy, they do not cause serious health problems like platforms once did. Broken bones, twisted ankles, hammertoes, calluses, and bunions were common occurrences when platform shoes ruled the footwear scene.

However, you need to buy your elevator shoes carefully. Let us discuss a few tips that will prove handy when you shop for a pair of elevator shoes. First, the construction of the shoe should be strong so that it lasts a few years. The different parts of the shoe including the insole and the outer soles should be stitched. If the different parts of the shoe are glued the shoe will not last long. The quality of leather is the next thing you should pay attention to. The easiest way to test leather is by simply touching it. Good quality leather will be soft and supple. Bad quality leather will show minute cracks and will crease easily on wearing the shoe.

You will also have to maintain your elevator shoe if you want them to last longer. Shining your shoe three times a week is recommended. Never wear the same shoe two days in a row, always give it a days rest as the moisture has to dry out. It is recommended that you buy two pairs of elevator shoe so that maintenance is easier. If you happen to soil your shoe, brush it off as soon as you get home.

Last but not the least, it is always better to buy a couple of high-end elevator shoes from a reputed manufacturer instead of having half a dozen inexpensive ones.
