Platform shoes appeared several thousand years ago. In those days, our distant ancestors suffered, but put on incredibly heavy shoes with a huge wedge. Since there were no materials that were light but strong enough to support the girl's weight, craftsmen had to make shoes using solid pieces of wood, stone, or even metal. Naturally, ladies in such shoes did not go anywhere, and even more so they did not dance, but they always remained in that old trend.
Now platform shoes are a comfortable and popular item chosen by girls all over the world, skillfully combining shoes, sneakers or boots with fashionable looks.
Features
Firstly, women's platform shoes are a good alternative to heels. Secondly, shoes and boots are comfortable to wear, cause less discomfort and fatigue at the end of the day. Thirdly, the platform allows you to visually increase the height of the girl, make her legs more even and slender, and her back becomes much smoother when the lady puts on shoes.
Wedge boots
From the outside, such winter shoes on the platform look like ordinary boots, but only the girl knows that instead of flatsoles and a small centimeter heel, a cut-off wedge is inserted into them. That is, visually it seems as if the girl put on simple high or low-rise boots, but their secret is that they are able to increase height and make the legs slim.
There is a common model - "Snickers" - shoes that won the hearts of young people. They wear such platform shoes not only in the cold season, but also in summer, because it all depends on the material and the presence of insulation. Initially, the Snickers looked like wedge sneakers, only massive Velcro was used instead of laces. But now they are releasing more original models that can look like both converse sneakers and simple leather boots.
These boots have the main difference - a wedge cut at an angle. Everything else is a different model. But, like all models, wedges have one significant drawback - with prolonged wear, the platform begins to move away from the main sole, but since the entire wedge is covered with fabric material, it is almost impossible to repair the shoes. At the same time, neither the originality of the product nor its cost affects this factor.
Wedge
Shoes of this type, as a rule, have a high platform. The shoes are comfortable in that they are very stable, so you can not be afraid that even while in a hurry, you can twist your ankle or break your heel.
The shoes look quite standard - a closed boat, a solid platform that affects the entire sole. Thatthere is, in fact, such women's shoes on the platform will add only 2-3 centimeters to your height, but from the outside it will seem as if you have grown by all 10-15 centimeters.
Wedge is a universal thing, because it is produced both for the summer season in the form of shoes, and for the winter season in the form of boots. But the second option is more similar to everyone's favorite Snickers. Only unlike this model, the wedge has a flat wedge, without a cut at an angle.
Louboutins
Despite the fact that high platform shoes got their name thanks to the creator - Christian Louboutin, such shoes and all their varieties from other creators are very popular and are proudly called Louboutins.
Let's start with the description: such a thing is characterized by a high heel, which reaches 10-12 centimeters in length, but a platform securely attached to the forefoot saves girls from overloading. This wedge in the original Louboutins is 2-4 centimeters high.
These shoes have a lot of disadvantages, despite the fact that this is a very popular model that makes girls around the world work for several months in a row, and then give several salaries for one cherished pair. Firstly, the original Louboutins are created according to the principle "First of all, beauty, not convenience." This was repeatedly stated by the creator himself - Christian Louboutin. Secondly, you can’t walk on such shoes for a long time without skill, since girls have to balance all the time, distributingload either on the platform or on the heel. Thirdly, as numerous reviews say, the louboutins and their counterparts have a too sharp angle, which is why the girl, again without preparation, will not be able to keep her balance and will always be tilted slightly forward, which does not look very beautiful and attractive.
Slip-ons & loafers
Of course, such shoes are not a wedge or a wedge, but they are in great demand. All because they look youthful, attractive and neat. Slip-ons and loafers are perfect for formal, sporty or casual style, and some wear them under a dress or skirt.
A distinctive feature of these models is a small platform 2-4 centimeters high. At first glance, it may seem that these are modernized sneakers - the way it is. Only in the development of models was the love for moccasins clearly used. These shoes do not have laces, they look like simple low top sneakers, only more streamlined and stylish.
