Valerio. Class that raises the bar.
Some shoes are worn for an occasion. Valerio is worn to create one. These Derbies are crafted from genuine cowhide leather in a deep dark brown with hand-applied shading that gives the upper a noble depth — light travels softly along the elongated, slim toe, drawing out the minimalist, timeless form.
Open lacing, clean lines, no ornament that isn't earning its place: classic men's elegance at its finest.
+2.76 inches (+7 cm). Discretion at bespoke-tailoring level.
Valerio's height-increasing system stays completely invisible. From the outside, the shoe keeps the proportions of classic formal footwear, and the low, formal heel gives nothing away. The 2.76 inches (+7 cm) come from the anatomical insole concealed inside, finished in genuine leather for comfort that lasts all day — from the morning meeting to the evening reception.
Why Valerio?
Brown is the colour of men who know the rules well enough to know when to break them. Valerio works beautifully with a navy or grey suit, with beige chinos and a blazer, and with dark denim in a smart-casual look. The anti-slip rubber sole gives sure footing whatever the weather — because real elegance doesn't compromise between form and function.
Every pair is made by hand.
Valerio — you walk in taller. Literally.

How to measure your foot

Stand on a sheet of paper, ideally in the evening — your foot is at its largest then.
-
Mark your heel and longest toe, then measure the distance with a ruler.
-
Compare the result with the table.

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.
