Choosing the correct size for your foot height-increasing shoes is just as important as choosing the right style. At Italian Shoes Company,every pair is crafted with precision, elegance and premium Italian engineering, and the fit of the shoes plays a huge role in your comfort, posture, and confidence. Since height- increasing shoes have a unique internal structure, getting the perfect size ensures your steps stay natural, balanced and stylish. 

Whether you’re shopping for formal shoes for men, everyday leather footwear, or a pair that elevates both your height and your personality, this guide will help you find the perfect 

  1. Understand the Structure of Height- Increasing Shoes

Height- Increasing shoes are not built like ordinary footwear. Inside every pair at Italian Shoes Company, there is a hidden elevation layer designed to add height discreetly without compromising comfort. This raised heel platform shifts your foot slightly forward, which means;

  • The internal volume of the shoe feels different from regular shoes. 
  • Your heel sits higher. 
  • The arch requires stronger support.
  • The front of the foot needs enough space to move naturally. 

This is why selecting the correct size is essential. If the shoe is too small, the elevated heel may cause pressure on your toes, if it’s too big, your foot may slide forward, making the extra height uncomfortable. Choosing the right size ensures a seamless, natural walking experience. 

  1. Start with an Accurate Foot Measurement 

Before choosing any pair of leather shoes for men, especially height-increasing ones, measure your feet accurately. Since these shoes have specially engineered interiors, your everyday size might not always be perfect unless measured correctly. 

 Here’s a simple way to measure at home:- 

  1. Place a sheet of paper on the floor and stand on it barefoot or with the socks you plan to wear.
  2. Keep your heel touching a wall.
  3. Mark the tip of your longest toe. 
  4. Measure the distance from the wall to the mark.
  5. Repeat for both feet, choose the larger measurement. 

This small step helps you match your size precisely with Italian Shoes Company’s sizing chart. For premium structured footwear, exact measurements make a big difference.

      3Consider Your Foot Shape

Italy is known for its handcrafted shoemaking traditions, and the last(foot mold) used in each pair is designed thoughtfully. However, the fit will still differ depending on your foot type. 

  • Wide Feet:- If you have wide feet, your usual size works well. Lace-up styles such as Derby or Oxford Formal shoes for men allow customisation tightening for a secure fit. 
  • High Arches:- Since height- increasing shoes already raise the heel, high arches may require a little extra room. Opting for a design with a naturally curved footbed or flexible leather gives the perfect balance. 

Italian Shoes Company offers designs that complement different foot shapes without affecting the stylish silhouette. 

       4. Choose the Right Style for the Right Fit 

Different styles of leather shoes for men fit differently because of their structure and materials. 

  • Formal Shoes for Men:- Classic Oxfords, Derbies, and Brogues are more structured and made using firm Italian leather. They take the shape of your foot over time, but a precise initial fit is crucial. If you’re between sizes, choosing half a size bigger ensures comfort when paired with the internal height fit. 
  • Leather Boots:- Boots naturally offer more room, especially at the instep. With height- increasing layers, boots remain one of the most comfortable options. Your regular size is usually perfect. 
  • Casual Leather Shoes:- Soft leather loafers and slip-ons adapt quickly to your foot shape. They are ideal for those new to height- increasing footwear since they offer immediate comfort.

Each Italian Shoes Company design is crafted to ensure the internal lift never compromises the refined fit and feel of premium footwear. 

     5. Pay Attention to Socks and Insole

Your socks matter more than you think when choosing size for height – increasing footwear. 

  • Thin dress socks work perfectly with formal shoes for men.
  • Thicker socks may require half a size up
  • Cushioned socks, especially with boots, can make the shoe feel more snug.

The internal insole in height- increasing shoes already plays a crucial role, so avoid adding bulky aftermarket inserts unless necessary. The insoles provided by Italian Shoes Company are engineered for balance, shock absorption, and posture improvement.

  1. Test the Fit Perfectly

Once you try the shoes, these signs will tell you if you have the correct size:

  • Your heel sits comfortably without slipping,
  • Your toes have space to wiggle but don’t float,
  • The arch feels supported,not strained,
  • You can walk naturally without feeling pressure or pitch.

Take a few steps on a hard floor surface. Height-increase in shoes from Italian Shoes Company are designed to align your posture, so they should feel stable and balanced from the first wear. 

  1. Allow the Leather to Break In

Premium Italian leather softens and adjusts to your foot shape over time. A slight snug fit at the beginning is normal, the leather will mold naturally. 

However, it should never feel painfully tight. If it does, you may need a half- size larger for long-term comfort. 

With the right size, Italian Shoes Company’s leather adapts beautifully and lasts for years while maintaining elegance.
