A micro-perforated leatherette low-top in black on a height-increasing insole — 2 inches of lift at 13 ounces, with a 1-inch visible heel.
Highlights
✓
2 inches of total height increase — the gentlest build CALTO makes here, which makes it the easiest one to get used to if you have never worn a lifted shoe.
✓
Micro-perforated leatherette upper, cloth-lined. Leatherette, not leather, and CALTO says so plainly — which means a damp cloth rather than polish, and no conditioning routine to keep up.
✓
1-inch heel, 5-inch shaft, rubber sole on cement construction — a low, flat-looking visible profile for a lifted sneaker. Glued rather than welted, so it is not resoleable.
✓
13 ounces at US 7.5, with the figure rising by size.
✓
Whole sizes 6 to 13, standard D / medium width. No half sizes, and no E, EE or 4E fitting.
This is a sensible first elevator shoe: a small lift and a light build, so there is less to get used to. Against the rest, the plain black low-top is the same idea at 2.6 inches and three ounces heavier, the snoafers move up to real leather and a slip-on shape, and the mesh mid-top pushes the lift to three inches in an athletic build. Wear this with joggers, jeans or shorts — the plain black leatherette keeps it quiet enough for a casual office.
