I had a pair of these during a short phase where I actually thought looking taller would create the illusion that I was slimmer. Not only was I altogether mistaken, but I began to think that these shoes are not for everyone. They are not very practical, so I got rid of them. How in the world people could actually walk in these, I don't know. One or maybe two inches are enough for me.

always thought they were ugly and gaudy. i would be way too klutzy to try and walk in them.

They have a youthful appeal and look very sexy if they have an ankle strap, an open toe and are worn with a skirt, cropped pants, bermuda shorts and even a dress and are more comfortable than regular high heeled shoes.

Dr. Frank-n-Furter makes these look so easy to wear but they're not.

i love platform shoes. i can't wear them without breaking my neck though.

My secretary bought a pair of these once, but they made her taller than me, so she had to return them.
