Elevator Sandals

LEVANO's elevator sandals are a collection of four men's sandals that add height naturally even in summer. An internal insole structure provides the lift, and a design that covers the instep keeps the sole from looking thick, making them easy to pair with shorts or wide-leg pants. They are for anyone who wants to look taller in sandals during the summer, or who simply wants a pair that stays cool and dry.

If you want a substantial boost, consider the genuine leather no15 and no16 with 8cm of lift (¥19,800 (tax included) each); to keep the price down, the 7cm no36 (¥12,980 (tax included)); and if Japanese craftsmanship and cowhide leather matter to you, the 5.5cm no30 (¥21,000 (tax included)). The Japan-made models are also grouped under Japan-Made Elevator Shoes.

• 8cm UP Genuine Leather Sandals no15 | Genuine leather with about 8cm of lift, weighing about 490g. A staple for everyday wear.
• 8cm UP Genuine Leather Lace-Up Sandals no16 | The same genuine leather and 8cm lift as no15, in a lace-up design. Sizes 24.0–28.0cm.
• 7cm up Gurkha Sandals no36 | Microfiber leather, with 7cm of lift that is best suited to dates and long walks around town. Sizes 24.5–28.0cm.
• 5.5cm UP Cowhide Leather Casual Sandals no30 | Made in Japan from cowhide leather, about 480g. The most natural-looking 5.5cm lift, and with sizes 23.5–26.5cm it also fits smaller feet.

All four models suit everyday wear and dates. 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).
