We all like to glam-up a night out with a pair of daring heels or gain that cherished extra inch to be able to look our work colleagues in the eye, but not all of us were born with the balance and stride to wear heels without faltering. This, I believe, is the reason that high heel platform shoes were invented, to offer additional height but with added stability for those of us who are prone to falling over when wearing anything higher than a kitten heel.
Platform high heel shoes allow you to increase the height of the heel without decreasing the stability and support provided by your shoe. Instead of the heel alone gaining the added height, the base of the shoe is also raised so that your entire foot is lifted off the ground and you have more chance of being sure-footed. They also offer more comfort than the traditional high-heeled shoe as your foot is not at such a vast angle when you are wearing them.
If you are worried that this might make the shoes appear clunky, then think again, as platform heels are becoming the popular choice for both every day wear and special nights out. The platform itself is usually concealed and the inner lining padded to allow extra comfort and support for your feet.
High heel platform shoes come in a range of colours including red, black, gold and animal print and you can even get platform ankle boots to spice up your winter wardrobe and give you that extra lift whether you wear trousers or a skirt.
You can choose from peep toe, open toe and gladiator shoes with platform heels, enabling you to mix and match your footwear with virtually every outfit in your wardrobe!
Many of you will remember platform heels from the seventies, but they are believed to have originated in ancient Greece to increase the height of important players in the Greek theatre. They were also thought to have been worn by prostitutes and courtesans in 16th century Venice.
Nowadays, high heel platform shoes are popular for all ages and situations, whether you want to party or just wear them for an everyday height advantage without the discomfort of walking in pointy stilettos.
