Girls only please.

For me a definite yes. Most of my Louboutins and YSLs have platforms. I loved super high stripper platforms although am growing out of these now and have focused my attention on designer platforms.

What about you, do you like the style of platforms, and do you wear them yourself?

Yes and why not. I do anything from 0.25 to 1". I find heeled shoes with at least a small platform much more comfortable to wear for longer. Also while we all like to say we go up to x many inches in heel height, an inch on the sole can make these taller shoes alot more comfortable for longer. Also handy when I have such a tall partner.

I grew out of all my platforms in the 80's

I see Johnboy has also voted I thought he was more the hunting and fishing type?.

I would not have worn platforms *outside* before, especially as I am tall anyway and my heels not that low even without platform.

but since the fashion has made them quite *normal*... at least those with small platform I do wear in public now. So let´s say - depending on occassion and shoestyle : till 2 cm platform would be ok for me.


on fetish events or similar no limits of course.

There are a time and place for all styles of boots / shoes - platforms / no platforms, high heels / lower heels.
I enjoy a 2 inch (50mm) enclosed platform with very high heels in shoes or boots.

I kind of wouldn't mind some platform heels but my boyfriend won't let me have any so all my heels are no platform.

Does your OH even include platforms like this:

Just so we're clear I'm not just talking fetish platforms

BTW disappointed in john boy and corsair5
Is there any way mods can remove john boy's vote?

Amanda Snake

Aha, ok I admit, I have a few pairs like that with hidden platforms. I like the non platform look and theyre comfy too.

I have at least 20 pairs of platforms, unlike Roz I haven't out grown my addiction to super high stripper platforms. All of mine have at least 2" platforms up to 4". I wear the 6" plats with jeans sometimes while running errands, but usually i am wearing to parties or a night out dancing. I have some clear, white, red, black, pink and one pair of screaming yellow plats. <smiles>

Have fun and be proud wearing them. I see more and more women doing it.

Maybe I should have had a few more options on the poll to include liking hidden platforms, YSL Tribute-style platforms (which I love) and super high platforms. 20-20 hindsight is a wonderful thing tho!
Yeah, platforms seem really popular at the moment. Some of the shoes being worn out now even I would have stopped short of wearing a few years ago. I still have a few stripper-style plats, but only ones that I think look really nice as opposed to just the plastic lumps, although I obviously still see the appeal of them. I sold about 40 pairs of my super high ones which has helped me get new (arguably more sensible!) shoes.
