How Much Height Will Elevator Shoes Add?

This depends largely on the manufacturer and the style of the shoe, but typically lift shoes add between 2 and 4 inches. In some cases, the more height that is added, the less the shoes look like "regular" shoes.

This is because the sides of the shoes need to be higher to accommodate taller lifts, or because the heel height needs to increase to deliver the extra height. Shopping around will help you find elevator shoes that add height, but still look the way you want.
