Platforms are Fun

Tuesday June 26, 2007 

I have become a platform shoe junkie! Having taken a closer look at how these shoes really step up an outfit, pushed me in to paying more attention to the many styles and designs on the market. This latest addition to my shoe collection is a brown platform sandal with a design embedded in the heel and along the sides of the shoes. So far I have found them in brown and black. The thin sexy heel gives them quite an edge over sex appeal, and can dress up a nice pair of capri pants or jeans, or a hot and sexy dress or skirt ensemble.

I like this style of shoes (and the black ones) in particular, because of the platform sole, they are easy to wear. Best thing about them, too, they are not pricy in cost. Starting at $28, these shoes are hot inexpensive shoes. Their level of classiness speaks volumes and are great for wearing on the night out. If you wear them to work, take great precaution because I would not recommend them for an 8-hour extended wear on the job unless you can handle baby sitting the heel and/or you do not work for a large company (like I do). Hard wear can ruin the heel (i.e., break it, snap the heel in two) by it being so thin. I know, I already had to replace the black ones.

Even still, they are gorgeous shoes and I have only been able to find them at one place.

Another pair of platforms I found are the chocolate brown pump and open toe pump. Made by Wild Diva, these shoes are a redesign of the Mary Jane shoe with their platform sole and stacked wood look heel. They hold a conservative appearance for the more modern day woman. These shoes can be best worn with a nice suit, slacks or a nice skirt ensemble — with or without nylons. For the open toes, I’d prefer no nylons. I think they are much more sexier without the nylons worn.

As an avid bargain hunter of the most stylish shoes in the Los Angeles and Hollywood area, these two pair of chocolate brown shoes were not expensive and were found in a store you would not think sold them.

These shoes are on the same path of shoe designers who have stepped up to the plate to make a bold statement in reintroducing old styles of shoes into the 21st century.
