PLATFORM SHOES
There was a time in fashion when stilettos were all the women’s rave. Though a foot-killer, stilettos were the must-haves for women because of two things: they are pretty to look at and they give the benefit of additional height to women. Beautiful on the feet but monster on the feel, stilettos scooted a little space to give way to the arrival of platform heels and wedges. These heels are of towering height but are not very painful to wear because of the added support heel on the toes. Now, looking taller does not need to be painful with platform wedges and heels. And yes, they are here to stay for 2012 and beyond.
