JUDITH | Casual shoes on a light platform
A bit of height without any of the tipping forward. I did the whole supermarket in them and then kept them on at home.
A little height is nice. Not for the look of it particularly, but because trousers hang better and you are not the shortest person in every photograph. The problem is that height normally arrives as a heel, and a heel tips your weight onto the front of your foot, which is where it hurts.
A platform does it differently. The lift is under the whole foot at once, so you stand level and nothing is pushed forward. These are cut to sit around the shape of the foot rather than press on it, and they are light enough that the extra sole does not become extra weight to carry. Brown, black or white.
Why women our age keep coming back to them
- Height without the tilt. The platform lifts the whole foot evenly, so none of your weight lands on the ball of the foot the way it does in a heel.
- Thick sole, hard floors. More sole between you and the ground is what makes a long day of concrete and tile survivable.
- Shaped around the foot. The fit follows the foot rather than squeezing it into a shape, which matters if the last pair left a mark on your little toe.
- Light for their size. They look substantial and do not feel it, which is the difference between wearing them and admiring them.

How they fit
True to size, in US 5 through 13. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one. It is also worth knowing that a platform sole is stiffer than a thin one, so give yourself a few days of shorter wears before a long one.

A few recent reviews
I am five feet one and I have spent my life in flats. This is the first lift I have found that does not hurt.

The white ones look new after a month of daily wear.

Stiff for the first week, exactly as described, then fine.
