RACHMANINOFF BLACK   These black height increasing heel shoes for men are named after 19th Century Russian composer and pianist and feature a 10cm built-in lift.   Elegant and formal, they’re an ideal pick for an extra boost of height and for high-class social engagements for men who want to look their best with a great suit.   After all, the shoes have to match the man! Due to their relatively sharp boost in height, they’re a bit tricky to get used to when first walking around in them.   If you haven't worn height-increase shoes before, we suggest selecting a style that offers less height. If you're still keen to try these as your first pair of elevator shoes, then we highly recommend walking in these for short durations until you're accustomed to the elevation.   Having said that, our Mr. Rachmaninoff men’s platform shoes are lightweight and well-cushioned. Spend as little as 30 minutes walking around in these and you’ll start to feel more confident and capable, and not just because of the added height they provide to your posture!     In fact, they’re some of the most comfortable dress platform shoes you can find these days. Indeed, grooms and business professionals enjoy the fantastic comfort and stylish appeal of these men’s dress shoes.   They’re a perfect pick if you need to stand for multiple hours at a time – for instance, when you’re at a friend’s wedding and are part of the wedding party. But businesspeople will also find a lot to like with these platform shoes for men.   They offer a classiness and sophistication that few other pairs of footwear can match. Plus, you can’t discount the significant boost in height that these shoes provide – another four inches of lift will surely help you face your boss more confidently or dominate a business meeting every time.
