Platform Shoes Buying Guide, Stores, and Prices
Contents[Hide]

Platform Shoes

Whether they're a sky-high clear  platform you bought for your exotic dancer  Halloween costume or an industrial  buckled pair of Demonia boots  just begging for a spin on the dance floor of the local goth club, platform shoes have become a staple of women's footwear and show no signs of falling out of favor. From ankle strap  styles to eye-poppingly colorful  shoes best suited for dressing up as a character out of an Austin Powers movie, there's a platform shoe  for just about any occasion.

Unique Platforms

The more unique , the better right? From leopard prints  to stylish cut-out designs , there's a style and color to fit any mood. Sparkly disco  platforms are perfect for a 70s themed party or as a last minute touch to a Halloween costume. Need a hot shoe for a night out with the girls? Patent leather  styles are ready-made for the club and are sure to get you noticed. Lace-up  platforms are a great way to add spice to any goth or lolita outfit, especially in an oxford  or granny boot  style. Mary Jane  platforms are also an essential element to any gothic wardrobe and look great paired with corsets and petticoats.

Platform Boots

From cowboy  boots to knee-highs  (and even thigh-highs !), there's a platform boot for any outfit and adventure. A pair of buckle goth  boots will make even the gothiest of girls smile, while a pair of basic black platform boots  can up the ante on even the most coporate of outfits. Need a hot outfit for a tapas date with that smoldering indie musician you met at your friend's birthday party? Try a pair of platform boots with skinny jeans, a plain white t-shirt and a slouchy boyfriend blazer, and don't forget an armful of silver bangles. 

Everyday Platforms

Covered  and hidden  platform shoes are a trendy way to take platforms into the daytime hours and depending on the height you pick, can even be worn to work. Woven sandals and metallic gladiator  platforms are perfect for a hot summer's day or night and take you everywhere from brunch to shopping and beyond. A pair of cork  or strappy  platform heels adds a wow factor to even the most basic jeans and t-shirt combo and will definitely have you walking down the street with a bit more sass. Slingback  platforms are sweet enough a daytime lunch with the girls and still sexy enough for dinner with that cute guy you meet at the art gallery last weekend. Wedge  platforms come in a variety of colors and materials and are a great way to add oomph to a spring or summer outfit.
