An interesting trend we’ve seen over the last year or so has been a huge increase in the amount of stage and movie productions contacting us for bespoke height increasing shoes, otherwise known as elevator shoes.
With our background in bespoke shoes, and a second main focus in creating comfortable, extremely high quality footwear with height increasing lifts, the requests have been a perfect fit for our handmade shoes.
In the past, many costume designers looking to increase the height of an actor would go to local shoemakers on location in LA or New York. From talking to designers who have become our customers, the consensus seems to be that many of the bespoke options in such markets can be extremely expensive, and may not necessarily be true specialists in height increasing shoes. That lack of expertise can sometime lead to the shoemakers creating shoes that are less comfortable for actors to wear for long periods of shooting or rehearsals, and may lack the overall design quality that the buyers envisioned before receiving their finished products.
Thankfully, we are blessed to have decades of specialized expertise in crafting bespoke, height increasing shoes, elevator boots, and more—with a client list that has included top actors, politicians, and business executives.
Being Scottish owned and operated, we are able to discuss your exact needs and requirements clearly, with no language barrier getting in the way of a client receiving exactly what they want and expect for themselves or their actors.
We can also collaborate with costume designers to extend our experience to offer up suggestions on fashion tips to make the elevator shoes / height increasing shoes as invisible as possible.
Depending on the needs of the actor, our shoes can increase height by 2 to 5 inches instantly, allowing a leading man or a key role to better portray the stature of the part. They’re also extremely helpful in helping to increase the height of an actor to make them taller than a potential love interest.
We’re extremely passionate and proud about the quality of our shoes. Whether you are able to find an existing design of our elevator shoes that will be a perfect fit for the character in your piece, or whether you have a very specific, unique vision that requires a bespoke solution, we will be happy to assist you and provide you a beautiful, functional finished product that will look great on set on or the stage.
We also ship worldwide, with quick, reliable shipping options, so whether you are filming in New York, LA, Georgia, London, or virtually anywhere else on the globe, we can get you the shoes you need asap.
Additionally, in the case of bespoke orders, we can also discuss sending shoemakers to collaborate with you and your actors in person—to design the most perfect possible fit for your leading actor. We are eager to find an ideal solution for the unique challenges and visions of every costume designer that we have the privilege and pleasure of serving.
