The human foot is a complex body part that is not only responsible for our motion but also balances our entire body-weight. The human foot is made up of 26 bones about 56 ligaments and 38 muscles. It is also a body part that is farthest from the heart and hence it needs to be treated well. Abusing the foot by wearing inappropriate footwear like platform shoes can cause irreversible damage to your foot and other parts of your body. Footwear like these shoes was essentially invented to increase the height of shorter or average height men/women; however, they soon became fashion statements and were abused.

Since the feet are situated so far from the body they receive less blood compared to other parts. With every step we take the feet absorb tremendous shock thus preventing the shock waves from traveling to other vital parts like the spine and hip joints. The feet are also prone to infections from bacteria and fungi which thrive in moist and warm surroundings created by the socks and shoes. Considering all these factors we need to take good care of our feet and equip them with the right footwear and platform shoes are certainly not the right ones.

So what do we do if we want to gain height and at the same time protect our feet? Well, there is a safe alternative - elevator shoes. Elevator shoes can increase your height while protecting your feet efficiently. The construction of elevator shoes is unique; on the outside the shoe looks like any other normal shoe with a normal heel. However, there is a height increasing insole inside the shoe that is made of tough yet comfortable shock absorbent material. The insole is 1 - 3 inches high. You gain height instantly and discreetly as the insoles are firmly stitched or glued inside the shoe and are not visible from the outside. The outer soles and the insoles of elevator shoes are flexible and not rigid as the ones you normally find on platforms. This ensures that your toes are able to propel your foot forward with every step and your foot lands on the heel.

It is known to all that high-heel shoes will hurt people's. However elevator shoes with lift less than 4'' is safe to wear. You can tell this when you wear elevator shoes. You won't feel hurt or very tired after wearing elevator shoes for a long time (more than 3 hours). The special structure of elevator shoes makes all these effects to be possible.
