An Honest Review of Groom Bros Height Increasing Shoes (with Photos)

Being a 5'6 girl isn't easy, as I tend to tower over guys when I'm wearing 4-inch heels. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I came across an awesome shop called Groom Bros in Australia. They are a retailer dedicated to fashion hacks for men, selling muscle boosting clothing and also elevator shoes which immediately caught my eye. 

Groom Bros' range of elevator shoes are quite unique, in that they only have 3 types of shoes available. This is different to other height increasing shoe shops that offers hundreds of designs. Their motto is to provide quality designs in small quantities, which means that their shoes are carefully designed to ensure that it provifes the best effect to the customers.

Because my boyfriend needed to go to work soon, I bravely decided to order a pair of Groom Bros's Black "Game Changers" height increasing shoes. I chose these because they're the perfect colour for work and won't stand out too much, and they also claimed to give a 7cm lift which is just about right for a pair of men's shoes. 

• Delivery time - I was very surprised with their delivery times as the shoe came in the mail by Express post 1-2 days after I placed the order. This is pretty impressive as I didn't expect it to come so fast! Groom Bros usually offer free standard shipping for every shoe which will pretty much arrive within 4-8 days. 

• Design - these Groom Bros shoes are extremely photogenic and beautifully designed, as you can see in some of my photos. The shoe isn't too shiny, but is more of a matte color. It is made from smooth, soft leather which felt a bit hard at first, but softened after we tried it on a few more times. I think the Groom Bros shoes are definitely lookers - they will make any man look smarter and more sophisticated, and have nice stitching on the outer lining as well. 

• Quality - the best thing about these Groom Bros shoes are that they're goodyear welted, which means that the upper part of the shoe is attached to the bottom part via goodyear welting, one of the strongest forms of stitching out there. The Groom Bros shoe also feels pretty solid and sturdy to touch, and the rubber soles were thick and well-cut. For the price, I wouldn't have expected them to be such good quality!

• Height Increasing Effect- the height increasing effect is also quite nice, as the 7cm lift isn't too much but is just enough to let others "feel" a change. I think what I like most about Groom Bros is that they also sell shorter 1.5cm insoles which can be inserted if you don't like their taller insoles. This means that the height increase is actually flexible, depending on whatever you feel like that day! All of Groom Bros' soles are removable too, so if you suddenly feel self-conscious, you could just remove the insoles and revert back to your normal height. Isn't it great? 

• Noticeability- since these Groom Bros shoes are made from solid leather, the height-increasing insoles aren't noticeable at all from the outside. In fact, they look just like a regular pair of shoes but with an added layer on the inside. No one noticed my boyfriend's Groom Bros shoes when he wore them out. Instead, they all complimented him on the new shoes. 

• Comfort and Fit - personally, I think that this is pretty important in considering a pair of elevator shoes. I ordered a Size 43 for my boyfriend and it was a perfect fit for these shoes when the laces are loosened up. The leather is also bound to get softer as time goes by. I'd say that the 1.5cm insoles are pretty comfortable as they're less steep, so I'd recommend getting these insoles if you think the original ones are a bit tall. Otherwise, I'd recommend going a size up if you want to wear the thicker insoles that comes with the shoes. 

Finally, in my opinion the best thing about the Groom Bros shoes is the price. For the price of $169.90 AUD, this pair of game changers is affordable to many guys (or girls) out there. This is contrasted to some of the more luxurious height increasing shoes found in other online shops, which retails for double or triple the price. 

Groom Bros also has 2 other types of shoes to choose from which are really beautiful and well-made. I think Groom Bros make great birthday presents for men who need a bit of an ego boost and make them look subtly taller!  

I'd definitely buy from Groom Bros again since these shoes really impressed me and my boyfriend. He said that he'd love to wear them to work to give him the extra height-increasing effect!
