Trend Watch: Platform Shoes

***daer0n*** · 03-25-2008, 07:45 AM

Need a lift? Skip the caffeine and instead throw on a pair of this season’s hottest shoe—platforms. With a well-deserved nod to the ’70s, designers are embracing the look across all styles. Whether boots, wedges, pumps, or even stilettos, this trend is perfect for those hoping to add a few stylish inches without sacrificing comfort or balance. Try stacked-heel boots over skinny jeans for a super-trendy, fashion-forward look. Or pair an oversize sweater dress with funky wedges for downtown chic. And the best part about platforms? Anyone and everyone can wear them!

Weirded out designers i guess lol
i only like the first pair, guess they actually come up with something cuter, i LOVE platforms though, just not so much these styles up there.

i was going to say the 6th for most practical. I also have something similar to that.

i mean the first is nice but is'nt it kind of limited what you can wear it with?

i find it easier to walk with platforms shoes than stiletto shoes

I like 'hidden' platforms where you can't tell they're platform at first.. thanks for posting N!

I don't have any platform shoes, being a shade over 6ft I am tall enough, I would love a pair one day just for fun.

***Bec688*** · 03-31-2008, 03:52 AM
