Visit the Mario Bertulli Museum

It was after returning from a trip to the USA that Mario Bertulli decided to create his own brand of shoes. In 1972, he launched the first pair of height increasing shoes, capable of raising a man’s stature from 5 to 10 cm, without an apparent high heel. These handcrafted shoes, made in Italy by Mario Bertulli himself, met with great success. Men are won over by the concept: an elevator shoe, which helps you gain several centimeters, in complete discretion.

Heir to a dynasty of shoemakers, Mario Bertulli was born with precious family know-how passed down for 3 generations.

With the business continued by his two daughters, the Bertulli tradition is today more alive than ever, and the genius of the man "with a crooked shoemaker's thumb" is now known by more than 650,000 satisfied customers around the world.

A Mario Bertulli museum has even been opened in his honour: it is in Brescia, Italy, where the whole story of his height increasing shoes began.
