Thanks to their advanced internal construction, they add 1.97 inches (+5 cm) to your height while keeping a completely natural look — nobody will notice you're wearing elevator shoes.

Precise stitching and a slim silhouette underline their luxurious character while ensuring exceptional durability for years to come.
The interior of the Ottavio is finished with a soft leather lining that moulds to the shape of your foot, delivering excellent comfort even after many hours of wear.
The specially designed height-increasing system does more than add inches — it encourages better posture, so your back sits straighter and your stance becomes more assured.

NO ONE WILL SEE IT. YOU'LL FEEL IT
The height increase is built into the structure of the shoe, not the heel. The heel is a standard height — the same as on any other shoe. The proportions stay natural. From the outside, it simply looks like an ordinary shoe.
We specialise in elevator shoes and nothing else. It's the only thing we do — which is why we know how to hide a few centimetres and still keep the shoe looking natural.
You'll notice the difference for the first time in the mirror. Then in a group photo, where you're standing taller than usual. And in conversation, when you look someone straight in the eye instead of slightly upwards. It changes how others see you.
It doesn't change who you are. It changes how you feel every day.
