About this build

We build this formal derby with a genuine oxhide patent leather upper that holds a mirror shine under event lighting. Inside, a layered riser system adds 3.4 inches while keeping the silhouette balanced against tailored trousers. The full leather lining softens against the foot over long evenings on your feet.

Internal lift structure

The hidden interior riser adds 3.4 inches across the footbed, tapering smoothly toward the toe. From the outside, the visible rear heel measures 1 1/4 inches, preserving the proportions of a standard dress shoe.

Patent oxhide upper

We shape genuine oxhide leather with a high-shine patent finish over a structured puff toe. The coated surface resists scuffs and requires only a soft damp cloth to clean after black-tie wear.

Goodyear welt build

Constructed with a Goodyear welt, the upper and sole are stitched together for dependable durability. This method allows the rubberized outsole to flex naturally while maintaining structural integrity through seasons of formal use.

Leather lining and lace closure

A smooth leather lining covers the interior to manage friction inside the 6 inch shaft. The open-lacing derby closure allows easy adjustment over the instep for a secure, comfortable fit.

What wearers say

Like wearing high heels

First time in my life trying elevator shoes, and they're about what I'd expect. It's like wearing high heels, and it takes practice. The shoes themselves won't betray you - the "lifts" are well hidden and the shoe design looks like a mid-rise chukka boot dress shoe. But anyone who sees you will notice that you're stumbling around like a baby giraffe, at least until you get the hang of things.

Handsome looking formal shoes!

These shoes are made with high quality materials and the workmanship is top-notch. They are very shiny like all patent leather shoes are. They remind me of what military soldiers would wear for their formal uniform. They do make you 3.4 inches taller! You can't even tell these are elevator shoes; they are amazing! I would highly recommend.

Shabby Chic

Sleek patent leather shoe

This must be the shiniest shoe I've seen in my husband's closet in quite some time. He almost didn't want to hold the shoe because it was so shiny and nice looking. It's smooth and sleek and would be a great shoe for the next formal event.
