Buying Guide

The LEVANO elevator shoes best suited to golf are just 2 models: the Japan-made, cowhide, 5cm-lift no28 (460g, ¥22,860) and no31 (340g, ¥30,480), prices tax included. Other sneakers are either not recommended or not suitable, and dress shoes and sandals are not suitable at all. Here is how to choose between the 2, how to handle clubhouse shoes, and how to pick your size.

The basic rule for elevator shoe care is simple: match the outside to the material, and keep water out of the inside. Wipe synthetic leather with diluted mild detergent, brush suede and use a protective spray, and keep cowhide glossy with a cream treatment once a month. We explain how to avoid full washes, air-dry in the shade, and rotate 2 pairs so your shoes last longer.
