Recognizable for their thick soles, platforms are known as a dramatic statement shoes that can elevate any outfit. They’re known to elongate the leg and change up the proportions of an ensemble. The platformed construction helps compensate for the height of the heel, allowing for more height than a traditional pump without any added discomfort. In fact, if comfort is a concern, some experts recommend that you maintain a heel high of no more than 3 inches by subtracting the height of the platform from the heel. For instance, if you’re wearing a 3.75-inch heel, your platform should be .75 inches.

While Chanel West Coast’s shoes were open-toe, various iterations of platform heels are trending for summer 2024, especially those reminiscent of footwear that Polly Pocket might wear. A myriad of closed-toe and peep-toe platforms have been worn by celebrities like Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lopez recently.
