There’s no denying it, women love shoes…it’s a fact. The more shoes she has in her wardrobe, the better…with shoes, more is definitely best! In the past, we wore shoes to protect our feet from the harsh realities of the ground, and sometimes, we even went without – leather was a luxury product once, and only the richest of the rich would spend frivolous amounts of money on shoes. But these are problems of the past, today, we can bask in our luxury lifestyles and buy as plentiful a supply of shoes as our budgets can manage. Shoes are probably the most important feature of any outfit. Without the correct style of shoes, you outfit, no matter how beautiful, no matter how exquisite, will always fall short of the mark. There is a problem with choosing beautiful shoes, though, and that’s finding beautiful shoes that are comfortable as well as beautiful. Even with the best pair of shoes, and the perfect outfit, if you cannot walk in them, then the effect of beauty is lost. Heels are the biggest culprit of walks that would fit well in Monty Python’s ‘The Ministry of Silly Walks’, many a Saturday night is animated by the faltering walks of women in five inch heels. If you want to wear heels and you want to look good wearing them, then you should opt for a pair of platform shoes before embarking on the skinnier heels. With platform shoes, you will still elongate the legs, adding height and creating a svelter silhouette. However, you will not have the problems of walking in slim heels. Furthermore, by practising in platforms, you will learn to get the hand of walking in heels – they are a stepping stone, much like stabilisers are on a bicycle. Platforms enable you to walk, or dance, for hours, without as much as a twinge. Although today they have lost some of the fashionability they had in the 1970s, but they are making a comeback this year. Today’s versions have a contemporary twist, and reflect little of hippy trend for which they first came to prominence. They are great because they make the transition from daywear to nightwear with ease; they look equally at home in the pub as they do at the theatre or the nightclub. This makes them the ideal shoe for a trip away, which means much more space in the suitcase for clothes and accessories…bliss. The choice and range of platforms available to date is immense. You can find them in all colours, all materials and in many different styles. There are sophisticated high top platforms. There are platforms with naked uppers, where the material envelopes the toes and around the side of the feet and heels. There are open toe platforms, sandal-style platforms. There are flowery platforms, metallic platforms, faux snakeskin platforms, fluorescent platforms, meshed platforms, bootie platforms, corked-sole platforms, wooden-sole platforms, zebra prints…you get the idea, and there is something for everyone.
