Shoes with platforms

FranandZoe · ‎03-09-2010

Watching the Skechers show - so many if not all of the shoes have platforms. I don't get it. Why would I want platforms on a sneaker? And the sandals with a platform I'd be afraid of falling off of them.

Why? Because at 5'1" it gives me a boost. Most of my friends are much taller and sometimes I just don't care for being so short.

I love platforms and I'm glad they are back in style. I can't wear heels but platforms are comfortable and I feel steady walking in them.

I wore platforms in the 70's and on and off since then. I am 5'2". I kind of like platforms on sneakers, at least one pair in my stock as I like variety.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

I am 5'1" and love platform shoes. When I worked as a hair stylist, I wore platform shoes everyday in the shop.

They were that comfortable that I could stand for over 10 hours a day in them. Many stylists wear them to work in.

I don't wear sneakers, but I do wear sandals and clogs with platform soles.

I have a bad knee and one that has been replaced and have never fallen off of them or fell while wearing them.

Another 5'1" and I LOVE platforms and the height it gives me. Also, I think it makes me look thinner.

Something for everyone.

I don't know what they have here, but all of my Skechers are platform. I feel more stable in them that flat shoes.

Haven't seen the presentation but can you bend your foot in platform shoes? It seems to me that you would just clomp around in them which doesn't sound too comfortable to me?? I can see the appeal if you're short but at 5'6" I don't want to be any taller!

@kaydee50 My feet bend in them like the do with any other decent quality shoe.
