Are TMS elevator shoes comfortable?

Our shoes will invisibly add 2 to 5.2 inches in height without losing any comfort. Every pair of our shoes are made with the best care and from high quality leather. The lightweight hidden increaser ensures that our shoes weigh no more than normal footwear. Our hidden increasers are made with a soft material containing a massage sole that enhances your comfort level. As a result, you can wear our shoes on a daily basis without experiencing any discomfort.

Our shoe last makes it so that the shoes will not slip off while providing the comfort and room needed for your feet. The insoles while adding height, will help absorb impact and cushion your feet. In every pair of our shoes there are mid-insoles that help prevent deterioration to the insoles and provide air circulation. Our outer soles helps you feel comfortable by allowing a natural instep.

What are the benefits of wearing elevator shoes?

Along with an increase in height, our elevator shoes will help promote better posture. The internal build -up offered by our shoes helps improve posture by providing the necessary support. When you are feeling tall and standing straight, it will give you a feeling of positivity and well-being. Studies have also shown that taller men get the job done. When it comes to getting more respect, getting the promotion, and even getting the girl, the possibilities are endless. With over 500 styles in stock to choose from we are sure to have something to fit every need.

Can I change the height increase level on a particular style?

Simple answer is no. The height of a shoe has to blend with style's design. For example we can never make a dress shoes with 5 inches heel. It can only go as height as 4 inches. We are working on bringing different heights for our styles and hope they will be available in the near future.  All of the height increasers in the shoes are sewn into the shoes and are not removable. This ensures the longevity and durability of the shoes.

Will anyone know that I am wearing height increase shoes?

Our shoes are designed with the appearance to be just like any non-height increasing shoe, only to be slightly taller in the back. By simply pairing your height increasing shoes with a pair of pants it will cover up the back end of your shoes. Thus making them unnoticeable.

Do I need to make alterations to the length of my pants?

In most cases, there is no need to alter your pants. Although wearing slightly longer trousers with larger legs will help optimize the invisible effect. Trousers should have sufficient margin so that they nicely fall over the end part of the shoes, where the shoe begins to lift up. Slightly longer pants are recommended for our extra height increase styles.

Is the sizing different for your shoes?

All of our shoes are listed in US sizes. Most of the shoes are "true to size" meaning that you should order your normal shoe size. If a certain style fits otherwise (large or small), there will be indication in the description that we advise to order a larger or smaller size.

Our insoles are designed so that they may be worn with regular shoes. We do recommend that they be worn with high profile shoes to ensure the best comfort.  Shoes with low profiles, such as loafers, will not allow the necessary room for your feet when the insoles are inserted.
