Mario Bertulli – Elevated elegance since 1972
In 1972, Mario Bertulli envisioned what no one had dared to create before: an elegant men’s shoe with an integrated height-increasing system, completely invisible to the eye.
As a pioneer of height-increasing shoes, he invented a revolutionary concept combining style, comfort, and discretion — long before elegance became as much about posture as it is about style.
For over 50 years, the Mario Bertulli house has continued this legacy with the same commitment to excellence.
All our shoes are built around our patented insole and handcrafted with respect for artisanal expertise.
Some collections are made in Italy, others in Europe, always adhering to strict standards of quality, comfort, and finish.
Trust, distinction, timelessness.
Mario Bertulli, innovation brought to a man’s level.

The Italian know-how
Mario Bertulli - the inventor of the height increasing shoe.
Coming from an old dynasty of shoemakers spanning three generations, Mario Bertulli invented the first height increasing shoe in 1972. A shoe with an embedded wedge sole slipped inside, allowing for an increase in height of 5 to 10 cm. His legacy is now developed worldwide and over 650,000 people wear Mario Bertulli height increasing shoes today.
"The moment I put on my Mario Bertulli shoes, I could feel the exceptional quality: supple leather, impeccable finishing, instant comfort from the very first step. They are elegant, sturdy, and easy to wear, perfect for business meetings or weekend outings. I genuinely feel the difference with every step."
David M, London
“I have rarely seen such a professional and human customer service. I was unsure about the size, and they called me back the same day to advise me precisely. Fast delivery, careful packaging, and a handwritten note that made me smile. You can truly feel that you matter and are respected as a customer.”
André R, Mailand
“With my Mario Bertulli shoes, I stand taller and feel more confident every day. The height increase is discreet, but I feel it, and it changes the way I carry myself in meetings, at events, and even in conversations. I have dared to do more since wearing them proudly.”
Antoine S, Marseille
“As a loyal customer for years, I remain impressed by the comfort and elegance of Mario Bertulli shoes. Discretion, quality, and those extra centimeters that make a difference. I recommend them without hesitation.”
