Height of Famous Short People

Stand out like a celebrity with a pair of stylish Elevator Shoes from TallMenShoes.com.

People in the TV business say that the camera adds 10 pounds. We see that phrase a little differently: We think the camera adds three inches. Thanks to a wide variety of camera tricks, a bunch of men shorter than you look like they tower over everyone. And that's not just in their movies: If you've seen pictures of Tom Cruise or Kit Harrington out and about, they just don't look that short.

Congratulations. You've just discovered one of their secrets.

A good number of celebrities use Elevator Shoes nowadays. Most of the time they purchase in an anonymous manner thru third party or their own stylist. Elevator Shoes are a perfect solution when they appear in public.

When most people think about elevator shoes, they think of Bootsy Collins' platform boots or Frankenstein's monster's clomping romper-stompers. The truth, however, is that our CALTO, TOTO and CALDEN lines of height-increasing elevator shoes feature all the quality, luxury and style you'd expect from a high-end shoe store.

You'll find a wide variety of elevator shoes, from dress and formal options to casual and active choices. All of them are built to add two to five inches to your height, giving you a boost in confidence and stature.

Check out the list of short famous men below. We guarantee that they are wearing elevator shoes just like the ones we offer (or would if they were alive during the age of internet shopping - RIP, Ludwig Van Beethoven).
