Bragais Shoes and Misters of Filipinas announced their partnership as they celebrate a decade of empowering dreams and fostering winners on the pageant stage and in life. 

They are delighted to present to the world of pageantry and fashion: Mandiators - the height-boosting sandals for men that instantly add two inches of confidence.

The Mandiators from Bragais Shoes are set to revolutionize men's footwear. These stylish sandals offer comfort and impeccable design and provide an instant height increase of 2 inches. This ingenious product empowers candidates to radiate confidence on and off the stage. The first batch of Mandiators is named Rufino, Dmitri, and Valentin, while the latest collection is named Uno and Gganbu.

The Rufino boasts one full microfiber band that elegantly crosses over the top of your foot. It's all in the details with two stylishly crafted holes on both sides, adding a touch of allure by showing just the right amount of skin.

The DMITRI stands out from the crowd with its unique tassel accentuating the center of its microfiber band. The DMITRI is available in classic Black and White options and adds flair to any outfit.

The Valentin features a striking black and white microfiber band meticulously stitched with a quality shoelace. Valentin ensures you're always on point, whether hitting the beach or a casual night out.

The Uno features a single, full band adorned with a pixelated camouflage print, exuding strength and style. The Uno is designed for those who appreciate a balance between fashion-forward and functional footwear.

The Gganbu is a comfortable and stylish option for those who enjoy long walks. Its band and straps are sturdy denim fabric, providing excellent coverage and adjustability. The Gganbu comes in different colors, such as Black Denim, White Denim, Blue Denim, and Camouflage, making it a versatile and trendy choice.
