platform boots
Thick-soled footwear
Platform boots are boots with thick, elevated soles that add several inches of height.
The sole runs the full length of the foot, distinguishing them from high heels.
Popular in 1970s glam rock and disco, they've cycled in and out of fashion since: She towered over everyone in her platform boots.
