Trend: Platforms

Platform shoes are definitely making a comeback from the 1970s, and these street shots that I've taken over the past week prove it.
Having a platform on a high heel, or even a more comfortable one, makes it much easier to walk in them, especially for longer periods at a time. I have a pair of sky-high Jeffrey Campbell Litas that have about a two inch platform on them and I was just walking around Soho the other day for about 5 or 6 hours with ease.
Having heels that are easier to walk around in for extended time periods makes hot heels and longer looking legs much more accessible for the woman who isn't a fan of walking in vertigo-inducing heels.

Here are some options that I've found on the streets of Meatpacking District, Garment District, and East Village:

Alexander Wang over-the-knee boots

Aldo platform heels

Pierre Hardy for Gap platform sandals

Unknown/possibly Topshop small platform sandals

Marni platform sandals

Unknown brand, platform sneakers
