Platform Shoes


Platform shoes have a long history in various cultures all over the world. Men wore these shoes with thick soles. The characters in the ancient Greek theater wore these shoes to increase their heights for the sake of the audience. Men in the 18th century Europe also wore these shoes to avoid the mud from getting stuck to their feet and the outfit.

With the changing times, the platform shoes have become a style statement. They are treated as fashionable footwear usually worn to make people look taller. The soles are often made of plastic, cork, rubber or wood. The platform shoes that rest on wooden soles are called clogs.

Platform shoes had been highly popular in the United States from 1930s – 1950s. When the Americans stared enjoying disco, the shoes again came back in the world of fashion in the 1970s. People wore platform shoes with much enthusiasm till 1980s. During the time, the shoes were so popular that no one could spot a single party goer who did not wear these shoes. These shoes even helped to dance better in the party as there were no spike heels.
