Anti-Elevator, Height Decreasing, Shoe Drop Shoes

If you want to look shorter without anyone noticing than this invention is for you.

First, let me provide some background information on elevator shoes:

Elevator shoes (also known as "height increasing shoes" or "shoe lift shoes" are shoes that have thickened sections of the insoles (known as lifts) under the heels to make the wearer appear taller. Unlike the high-heeled shoes the component of elevator shoes that increases the wearer's height is inside the shoe, making it almost invisible to observers. (source: Wikipedia)

Elevator shoes are commonly used by the short male especially if his female partner is taller. A shoe company producing elevator shoes advertise "Now you can be taller than she is"

So it is clear that the idea behind elevator shoes is to make the male look taller than he is in comparison to her female partner. (vice versa is also possible but not common)

We can double the same effect by creating a visual illusion with anti-elevator shoes which are shoes that have visible high platforms that are empty inside. (Unlike the elevator shoes, the person shall not cover the platform with long trousers or skirts, they shall be visible)

The tall person, female in most cases, wearing the anti-elevator shoes although appearing standing on the platform, in reality will be very closed to the ground as her feet are inside the platforms, not on them. By the help of this illusion people looking at her will think that part of her height (tallness) comes from the platform and will imagine that she is shorter in reality.

The upper part of the shoe, (where feet were supposed to be if they were usual platform shoes) will be filled in with some elastic material to let the ankles move without obstacle.
