Who Suits This Footwear?
If you are short of stature platform shoes will give you some extra inches and at the same time they afford you better support than stiletto heels will. On top of that they are much easier to walk in. If you are tall and thin, this look will not suit you so well.
These shoes will look equally fine on women who are larger in size as the chunky heels will be more in proportion to the rest of the body.
Before you as a novice include this footwear in your everyday wardrobe you should remember that as with any other high heel style, they take a little time to walk properly on. So do your practice at home until you are confident that you will not fall over or twist your ankle.
These shoes are not as bad for your feet and legs as other high heeled varieties as they will lift the whole foot so that the surface you are standing on is fairly level. High heeled shoes have had a bad press by foot specialists and they should not be worn all the time.
Apparently, heels inhibit the proper functioning of the veins in your calf muscles as your ankles tend not to move. This may cause you ulcers later on in life. Because elderly people’s balance is different from when they were younger, they should be avoided for fear of losing their footing.
To choose a pair you should go for the staple black variety as this will go with anything in your wardrobe. You can get a little more adventurous later if you like walking on these shoes.
This footwear will always look good with skirts and dresses and, if you are going on holiday shorts are a good match too.
You should shy away from chunky and shapeless clothing as the shoes themselves are not the daintiest in the world and they will not do you any favours in the style department. If you are going on a long hike this footwear is less than perfect and you should always have a pair of flat shoes with you.
