Stride Along in Platform Heels

By Gbolahan Adeyemi

When it comes to picking shoes, a lot of women can truly take fashion risks and are ready to make their feet perform many daring feats.

Platform heels


Whether the main purpose is for fashion or to add a few extra inches, a nice pair of shoes is an all-important part of any outfit.

One trending shoe, and which never goes out of fashion, is the platform shoe. This shoe is a must-have item, because each type of platform shoe has its own unique design.

Another thing is that it gives the wearer opportunity to pair better with a variety of outfits. Most platform heels have thick soles, but a much daintier heel. The added height in the front allows women to wear a higher heel than they might be able to, if the shoe’s sole was thin.

How to wear your platform heels:
When picking out your platform shoes, ensure they are not too narrow at the soles, so you can wear them without hurting your feet too much.

Go for the shoe length you are comfortable in.

You can go sporty by wearing a sneaker platform heel with a nice outfit or with a denim skirt, shorts or trousers.

Another way to look chic in your platform heel is to pair it with a lovely T-shirt, trousers and a blazer or combine it with trousers or skirt suit.

You can also opt for a maxi dress with a slit by the side and add a platform heel for that elegant, yet relaxed look.

Platform shoes can be ideal for nearly any dressy occasion, depending on the style and they remain a popular choice. So, it is essential to choose the right platform shoe design, colour and size that will complement your outfit and suit the occasion.
