Stylish and modern, platform stilettos are a combination of the substantial impact of a platform shoes with the elegance of a stiletto heel. Platforms let heels reach new heights while still being comfortable enough to wear for any occasion. A favorite of petite stars from Bollywood to Hollywood, platform shoes add height; platorm stiletto heels do the same, but without the chunkier look of traditional platform shoes
The first appearance of platform stiletto styles was in the 1970s, but the new platform is not the chunky, hoof-like apparatus that those older designs were. Platforms are now incorporated into the shoe rather than appearing tacked onto it. Modern materials also keep today's platform footwear lighter than their predecessors. Made of cork, wood, or plastic, contemporary platform stiletto shoes feel comfortable enough to wear for a day on the town or a whole night of dancing.
Adding an updated platform to a stiletto shoe makes it possible to build heels higher while still keeping the shoes wearable and secure on the foot. While a conventional stiletto shoe can only be a few inches high before it becomes unwearably tall, platform stiletto shoes have no such limitations. Even a five-inch heel on a platform stiletto feels as wearable as a three-inch heel on another shoe.
A modestly thick platform adds subtle height and refinement to a shoes while a towering platform is all-out glamorous. A closed-toe platform stiletto is a novel take on the classic pump, but the style lends itself equally well to open-toed and sandal designs. The platform may provide a visible contrast or be wrapped in matching fabric or leather to match the shoes upper, making this style as versatile as it is wearable. Whether embellished with beads and bows or designed with architectural minimalism, platform stilettos are a beautifully modern update to any traditional shoes style.
Because of that versatility, platform stilettos go with anything from a lushly feminine saree or evening gown to a day-dress or jeans. Platforms look stylish with short, leggy dresses and skirts, yet work as well with slacks to add substance to an office look. Strappy sandals designs look airy and light enough for a picnic in the park while sleeker pump and slipper styles are a perfect complement to elegant evening wear.
Finding the right pair of platform stilettos is easier now than ever. Online shopping makes the world's finest shoes available in a way that brick and mortar shoes shops can't match. Exotic and unusual shoes designs from India make a striking counterpoint to Western styles and complement traditional Indian styles just as beautifully. The right shoe sets any outfit apart from the crowd. Make a dramatic statement with a pair of platform stilettos from Utsav, the premiere web site for Indian fashion.
