Platform Boots

Shoes have become more of accessories rather than mere footwear meant for protection. There are many different styles of shoes that are designed, made and produced in the market. Shoes like boots, sandals, stilettos and more are given new shapes and designed in an innovative way by shoe designers to set new trends in the domain of fashion.

Platform boots are a type of shoes that cover the foot, the ankle and sometimes stretch up to the knees. They have thick soles usually made of materials like leather, plastic, rubber or wood and are generally worn for fashion and/or for adding height. They were very popular during the 1970s in the UK and were worn by both men and women. In 1990, UK fashion designer Vivienne Westwood re-introduced the high thick-heeled platform boot into the fashion world. The heels varied from five-inches to nine-inches and were even worn by famous celebrity Naomi Campbell. Apart from her, even the UK girl band, Spice Girls, contributed to the popularity of these boots; the Spice Girls were labelled as a band with members who performed with large shoes.

Nowadays, women are commonly found of wearing platform boots. They are available in various colours ó from white to blue to red to yellow, but black platform boots are one of the most common coloured boots much liked by people.
