Platform Or None?

[PatsyCline]

Do you find it harder to wear shoes with say, 4" heels and no platform or 6" with a 2" platform? The arch is the same, but does the platform cause more problems? I just received a pair of shoes with the latter example. I've never worn a pair of the former, so would like an opinion from those who have worn both.

I find the platform heels harder as they're higher and more precarious

I just bought some platform pumps at Nine West this past weekend. Previous purchases included some platform styles but they were very modest. This time I just went for it! A one inch platform with a five inch heel! Apart from getting accustomed to the feel of the shoe, I find them as easy to walk in as my four inch heels, in fact, they may be a little easier. Everyone is different, but these are really working for me!

I find a small hidden platform, perhaps half an inch or less adds to comfort. I wouldn't be seen dead wearing larger ones.

Not even for your now famous Noddy Holder impression??

Just to add a little something visually to the discussion about platforms, here's a photo of the Nine West platform pumps I bought last weekend. They aren't extreme by any means, but I think they are rather sexy! (Louise, I'm still rockin' them!)

They're very nice!

They're very nice. I've seen photos of the Louboutin Altis, but I think they are not being made anymore, except with spikes, and I'm not sure if I like them yet.

Actually it does bare some resemblance to my Grandmother.

Is this your Les Dawson impersonation?

[Amanda]

Megan, you've lost me completely now! Do please explain...

[meganiwish]

It was to do with Les Dawson making quips about his mother-in-law, but I'll admit it was a bit lame. Consider me penitent.

[Amanda]

Meg are you a fan of those cryptic crosswords perchance?

[meganiwish]

Yes. I compile them too, on a small scale.

[Amanda]

Oh dear, I think we've made rather a mess of this thread.

[meganiwish]

Yes. There are two ways to deal with a tangle - unravel it patiently or snip straight through with the scissors. Here goes. Like you, I don't really like platforms. Anything too big looks ridiculous at my height. I look like I'm standing on a soapbox. (Hmm, snipping through still leaves the thread a bit of a mess.)

[Amanda]

Ah well, now that we're on to a fresh page perhaps people will begin to post it back to the original topic. I've noticed that people often reply to threads without having read all the posts so it's quite likely.
