Considering that women are wearing those fugly combat boots, thinking it works well with mini skirts, I am not surprised to hear things in this article like the chunkier the better. Women in general have forgotten how to wear heels, so platforms offer them a convenient way out to cheat. All the height, zero effort.

Once i have been into platforms too, but that is at least 10 years ago. Almost all of the platforms had to go, and today i can not imagine to do it again. But i also can not imagine to wear these combat boots which are now on display everywhere, ugly footwear simply does not work with a dress or skirt. I will stay with my classic pumps, they served me well during at least 40 years. Never change a running system!
