Inspired by iconic skate shoe designs of the 80s and 90s, these are one of our favorite pairs of elevator shoes for men in 2021. That’s because they use modern design to give men the confidence they deserve, all while channeling a look that traditionally doesn’t have much boost at all.

It used to be that finding shoes with a little extra lift was a challenge. And one of the places that challenge was most obvious?

The gym.

Fortunately, designers over the last year have stepped up big time. And with their passion to create gym-appropriate sneakers that also help you stand taller, we’ve got another of 2021’s best: these Black Knit Elevator Trainers.

This is one of the best combinations of form and function we’ve seen this year. A comfortable knit upper makes sure your feet are comfortable, letting you get in your best workout possible. All black designs are sure to mesh well with your workout wardrobe as you let the gym know you mean business. And a non-slip sole lets you get your workout in, no matter the weather.

7. White Elevator Sneakers 2021

8. Horsebit Driving Loafers That Add Height 2021
