Pull the sleeve onto a clean dry bare heel, sock over the top, shoe on as normal. Take them off at the end of the day, rinse under the tap and leave to air dry overnight.


Thirty seconds, at the same time as your socks.
You walk into the meeting and somebody says it out loud, the way they always do. That you look young. That you look like you should still be in school. Then the conversation carries on above you.
It is never one moment you could point at. It is being addressed second. It is the client turning to your taller colleague to check something you have already answered. You go home knowing it happened and knowing you cannot name it.
Imagine instead walking into that same room on Monday, in the same shoes you already own, and nobody having a single thing to say about you before you speak.
ELVO™ is designed for exactly that.
An office is not a first date. The same people see you every day, so anything that arrives suddenly gets noticed and commented on, which is the exact thing you were trying to avoid.
That is why this goes inside the shoes already in your rotation rather than being a new pair with a taller sole. Nothing about the outside of the shoe changes, because the wedge is under your heel, inside a soft silicone sleeve, under your sock.
It is also why there are three heights. If you want the change to pass without comment, take the lowest and let it be an inch nobody can quite account for.

1Onto the bare heel first, then the sock over the top. It becomes part of getting dressed.
2Oxfords, derbies, loafers with a closed heel. Nothing about the shoe changes.
3Rinse them, leave them to dry, do it again tomorrow.
IllustrationAn illustration rather than a customer photograph. What changes is where your heel sits inside the shoe. What does not change is the shoe: same profile, same sole, same everything anybody in the meeting can see.
| Elevator dress shoes | ELVO |
|---|---|
| A conspicuous new pair | The shoes you wore last week |
| Priced like a shoe | Priced like an accessory |
| One pair, one look | Every pair in your rotation |
| A visible sole | Nothing visible at all |
Probably not on its own, and we are not going to pretend a wedge fixes how a room treats you. Plenty of the men writing about this say the same thing, and they are right.
What it does change is the first two seconds, before anybody has heard you speak. If the very first thing said about you in a meeting has been your height often enough that you have started expecting it, removing that opening line is worth something on its own.
It is a small intervention with a small price and thirty days to reverse it. That is the honest size of the claim.
That depends how much you add. Two inches is noticeable to people who see you daily; the smallest lift usually is not, and that is the one we would start with if the point is to avoid comment rather than to be tall.
Any shoe with a closed heel, which includes oxfords, derbies and most loafers. Your heel sits higher, so a shoe that already slips at the heel will slip less and a shoe that is already tight will be tighter.
They are soft silicone rather than a rigid insert, and the heel cup stops them sliding forward — those are the two things that make people give up on lifts. Whether a raised heel suits you all day is personal, which is what the thirty days are for.
The sleeve stays on your foot, so it is still on when the shoes come off. If you are changing in front of colleagues, it is a piece of clear silicone on your heel — visible if someone looks at your bare foot, invisible in socks.
A raised heel keeps the calf and Achilles slightly shorter while it is worn, as any heeled shoe does. Take them out at home, don't live in them, and stretch. If you have an existing Achilles or foot problem, ask someone qualified before you buy.
Not one meeting — a week, in the shoes you actually wear. If nothing about the room feels different, email us inside thirty days and we refund the order.
