The black colourway of CALTO's knit-upper elevator trainer — a 1-inch visible heel and an integrated lifting insole on a 5.5-inch shaft, and the plain version of the grey-and-orange Q392.
Highlights
✓
Perforated knit upper in plain black — it flexes with the foot and breathes better than a leather or leatherette upper, at the cost of the structure and weather resistance leather gives you.
✓
A 1-inch heel plus integrated height-increasing insoles. The spec list says the insoles "add inches" but gives no total — the three-inch figure appears only in the product name, not in the specification.
✓
The name says basketball high-top; the spec says a 5.5-inch shaft. Measured from the ground up, that is mid-height rather than over the ankle, and CALTO's own description calls it a knitted trainer without mentioning basketball.
✓
14 ounces at US 7.5, cushioned footbeds, cement construction — light for a lifted shoe, but the fully rubberised sole is glued rather than welted, so it cannot be resoled.
✓
Whole sizes 6 to 13, standard D / medium width only. Nothing above a 13, no half sizes and no E, EE or 4E fitting — if you buy wide, this is not the pair.
The Q393 and the Q392 are one shoe in two colours: the same knit upper, 1-inch heel, 5.5-inch shaft, 14-ounce weight and 6–13 size run. Nothing else differs, so choose on colour — the grey-and-orange Q392 reads as gym and weekend wear, while this black pair goes with dark jeans and trousers as well as training kit. If you want the lift figure written into the specification rather than only the name, the G3304 is a black mesh mid-top whose spec states three inches in total with the same 1-inch heel and 5.5-inch shaft.

Black. US whole sizes 6 through 13, standard D / medium width only. Perforated knit upper, fully rubberised sole, cement construction, double-stitched, cushioned footbeds with integrated height-increasing insoles; 1-inch heel, 5.5-inch shaft measured from the ground up; 14 ounces based on US 7.5, actual weight varying by size. Ships in a CALTO retail shoe box. Imported. The specification gives no total height-increase figure — the three inches appears only in the product name — and the name's "basketball high-top" is not supported by the spec, which describes a knitted trainer with a 5.5-inch shaft. The lining material, care instructions, the country of manufacture and any sizing guidance are not published on this listing. Contact us if you need any of it confirmed before ordering.
