Cuban Heels

In the early and mid 70’s, models and rock stars wore footwear that increased their height. They’re now available as the popular Cuban heels and are a boon for shorter men who want to add a few more inches to their height.  They’re stylish and trendy with celebrities like Nicolas Sarkozy, Tom Cruise, Bono, Robert Downey Junior and others sporting them. Take a look at some brands that offer sleek Cuban heels to boost your height:

The shoes add at least an additional half to two inches more to their height that shorter men appreciate. Especially men with taller girlfriends or girl friends who wear stilettos and tower above them! Wearing height boosting footwear has become quite a trend even for celebrities who’re not really short. Brad Pitt who’s definitely not on the shorter side flaunts his Cuban heels with flair and panache.

A Cuban heel generally has a moderate height with a slightly tapered back and a straight front. Shoe Factory offers a range of Cuban heeled men’s shoes in leather with smooth leather uppers that look great when worn formally or casually with jeans.
