BLAKE-STITCHED — 100% Italian Leather | Prestige Collection The timeless Derby — handcrafted, built to last

A true classic of the bootmaker's art, elevated to the rank of exceptional piece. This Derby embodies the very best of artisanal shoemaking: a carefully crafted toe cap, a sleek and elegant silhouette, a 5-eyelet lacing. Yet what truly sets it apart is what the eye doesn't catch at first glance — the quality of every component, and the craftsman's hand that brings them together.

Every pair from the Prestige Collection is entirely hand-stitched using the Blake method and rests on a genuine Italian leather sole. A more demanding, time-honoured craft that ensures comfort, breathability and longevity far beyond that of a glued shoe. A pair that ages with you, and stands the test of time.

Composition

  • Upper: full-grain calf leather
  • Lining: full-grain calf leather
  • Insole: full-grain calf leather
  • Inner raise: leather
  • Sole: Italian leather, Mario Bertulli Blake-stamped
  • Finish: hand-applied colour patina

Blake-stitched — a fully handcrafted construction method that binds the insole, upper and outsole in a single line of stitching. Suppler, truer to the foot, and designed to accompany a lifetime: the leather sole can be renewed by a cobbler, making each pair an investment that can be passed down through generations.

ELEVATOR SHOES BY
MARIO BERTULLI

The back of the shoe is higher, and the rear curve is adjusted to:

  • Keep the foot perfectly secure inside the shoe
  • Prevent any rubbing on the Achilles tendon

THE OTHERS

The lift is simply placed in a normal shoe, which causes :

The heel slips out of the shoe while walking

The instep shaft axis is adjusted to provide enough space for the foot and ensure support and comfort

The foot is compressed in the shoe, causing pain

All proportions of the shoe (sole, upper, and lining) are adjusted to the lift for optimal comfort and to ensure it remains visually imperceptible

Difficulty lacing the shoes as the top of the foot is compressed

ABSOLUTE COMFORT FOR YOUR FEET IN TOTAL DISCRETION

1. DO NOT WEAR THEM TOO OFTEN:

To avoid damaging them and to promote drying and ventilation of the leather, preventing premature ageing. It is recommended not to wear the same pair more than twice a week.

2. USE SHOE TREES:

Insert shoe trees into your  shoes after wearing them to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

See our range of shoe trees >

3. CLEAN AND NOURISH YOUR SHOES:

Clean them regularly: Clean your shoes after each use to remove dirt and dust. Use products suitable for the type of material.

Our height-increasing shoes provide a boost in height ranging from +2"  to +4", depending on the model. This increase is achieved through a smart combination of the internal lift and the thickness of the outer sole.

Unlike traditional heel inserts, our system is fully integrated into the shoe, ensuring a natural and invisible effect. Each shoe is designed around its sole, ensuring a perfect balance of aesthetics, comfort, and stability. This unique design guarantees a smooth and natural walking experience, without compromising on elegance and style.

No, the elevation is completely invisible. The lift is seamlessly integrated inside the shoe, with no visible difference from the outside. The design has been carefully crafted to ensure a natural and discreet effect, enhancing your silhouette with confidence.

Our shoes are made with high-quality materials, carefully selected to combine elegance, comfort, and durability. We primarily use genuine leather, known for its resilience and refined appearance, along with robust soles that provide excellent support. Each model is crafted with premium finishes to ensure a stylish look and an optimal level of comfort throughout the day.

Not necessarily! If your current pants are the right length and naturally fall to the heel of your usual shoes, no adjustments are needed. However, if your pants are already slightly short, it might be a good idea to opt for a slightly longer length to maintain a well-proportioned silhouette with your Mario Bertulli shoes.

The answer is a resounding yes! Many of our satisfied customers have shared their enthusiasm, confirming the exceptional comfort of Mario Bertulli shoes. They provide perfect support for your feet, and you won’t even notice the hidden lift, which discreetly adds 6, 8, or even 10 cm.

Absolutely! Mario Bertulli models are designed for daily wear, whether at the office, during leisure activities, sports, or even formal events and ceremonies.

To maintain their quality and durability, cobblers recommend alternating between multiple pairs, allowing the leather to rest and retain its shape. For optimal comfort and easy maintenance, we recommend owning at least two pairs of Mario Bertulli shoes.

Since the launch of the first Mario Bertulli height-increasing shoes in 1972, several studies have highlighted their positive effects. Thanks to the hidden lift, they improve posture, promote better spinal alignment, and encourage a straighter and more confident walk.

In addition to providing a subtle and natural height boost, Mario Bertulli shoes contribute to better posture and balance in everyday life.

We provide a range of 100% secure payment methods to guarantee a smooth and worry-free shopping experience. You can complete your purchase using credit card (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), bank transfer, Apple Pay, or PayPal.

We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience. To be notified by email when an item is back in stock, you can sign up for our waitlist. Simply select the out-of-stock size on the product page of your desired model and enter your email address.

To properly try on your Mario Bertulli shoes, wear them at the end of the day, when your feet are slightly more swollen. Make sure there is a small space in front of your toes and that the shoe provides a secure yet comfortable fit without any pain.

Try them on a soft surface (such as a carpet) to prevent marking the soles in case you need to return them.
