Shoes on the platform appeared several thousand years ago. In those days, our distant ancestors suffered, but wore incredibly heavy shoes with a huge wedge. Since there were no light materials, but strong enough to support the girl’s weight, the craftsmen had to make shoes using solid pieces of wood, stone or even metal. Naturally, the ladies in such shoes did not go anywhere, much less dance, but always remained in that old trend.
Now shoes on the platform are a convenient and popular thing that girls around the world choose, skillfully combining shoes, sneakers or boots with fashionable images.
Features
Firstly, women's platform shoes are a good alternative to heels. Secondly, shoes and boots are comfortable to wear, less cause discomfort and fatigue at the end of the day. Thirdly, the platform allows you to visually increase the girl’s growth, make her legs more even and slim, and the back becomes much more even when the lady puts on her shoes.
Wedge boots
From the side, such winter shoes on the platform look like ordinary boots, but only the girl knows that instead of a flat sole and a small centimeter heel, a cut wedge is inserted into them. That is, visually it seems that the girl put on simple boots of high or low rise, but their secret is that they are able to increase growth and give legs slenderness.
There is a common model - "Sneakers" - shoes that won the hearts of youth. They wear such shoes on the platform not only in the cold season, but also in the summer, because it all depends on the material and the presence of insulation. Initially, “Sneakers” looked like sneakers on a wedge, only massive Velcro was used instead of laces. But now they are releasing more original models, which can look like sneakers-converse and simple leather shoes.
These boots have the main difference - this is a wedge heel cut at an angle. Everything else is already different models. But, like all models, the wedges have one significant minus - with prolonged wear, the platform starts to move away from the main sole, but since the entire platform sole is covered with fabric material, it is almost impossible to fix 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. Shoes are comfortable in that they are very stable, so you can not be afraid that even during a hurry you can dislocate your ankle or break your heel.
Shoes look quite standard - a closed boat, a one-piece platform that affects the entire sole. That 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 like everyone’s favorite Sneakers. Only unlike this model, the Wedge has a flat wedge, without cutting at an angle.
Louboutins
Despite the fact that shoes on a high platform got its 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 the platform, securely attached to the front of the foot, saves the girls from overloading. This wedge heel is from the original Louboutin 2-4 centimeters high.
These shoes have a lot of minuses, despite the fact that this is a very popular model that makes girls all over the world work for several months in a row, and then give a few salaries for the sake of one cherished pair. Firstly, the original Louboutins were created on the principle of “beauty, not convenience, first”. This was repeatedly stated by the creator himself - Christian Louboutin. Secondly, you cannot go without dexterity on such shoes for a long time, as the girls have to balance all the time, distributing the load on the platform or the heel. Thirdly, as many reviews say, the louboutins and their brothers are too sharp an 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 and loafers
Of course, such shoes are not a wedge or wedge, but are in great demand. All because they look youthful, attractive and neat. Slip-ons and loafers are perfect for formal, sporty or casual styles, and some wear them under a dress or skirt.
A distinctive feature of these models is a small platform with a height of 2-4 centimeters. At first glance, it might seem that these are modernized sneakers - the way it is. Only in the development of models the love of moccasins was clearly used. Such shoes do not have lacing; they look like simple low sneakers, only more streamlined and stylish.
