Contrary to popular belief platform shoes are about the soles and not the heels. To see more of one of the season's hottest styles, check out a few of my favorite platform shoes below.
Full-front coverage and more straps than you can imagine make these platform sandals one of the must-see styles of the season. The heels are 4.25 inches, and the platform soles are a hefty 1.25 inches. The sand version is an ideal representation of everything that's hot right now, and the black version has a really edgy vibe.
Looking much more expensive than their $90 price tag, these versatile Jessica Simpson pumps come in a variety of unique colors, prints and finishes. It's the concealed platform soles that give these sexy shoes their shapely silhouette, but the 5" heels don't hurt their case any either.
One of the season's sexiest styles, I can guarantee you will get attention in these platform shoes. The ultra-wide ankle cuffs make these shoes practically booties, but the simple vamp strap makes them an ideal choice for warmer weather. The stacked stiletto heels are a crazy-high 4.75 inches, though the 1" soles will make them feel a bit more manageable.
Playing perfectly into the cage shoe trend, these birdcage shoes feature sky-high checkered heels and sex appeal to spare. The white version is absolutely ideal for warmer weather, while the teal, brown or black versions are more multi-seasonal. Whichever color you prefer, you'll want to pair these platforms with mid-length and shorter skirts and dresses, given what a high cut these shoes have.
The bold crossed straps make these platform sandals a dynamic choice for warm weather skirts and dresses, and there's a color option for nearly any item in your closet. The 4.5" heels are offset by .75" platform soles.
