platform pumps

Thick-soled stilettos

Platform pumps are women's high-heeled shoes with a thick sole under the toe box that elevates the entire foot.

The platform reduces the effective heel height, making very high heels more walkable: She wore six-inch platform pumps but they felt like four-inch heels.

Popular in disco-era fashion and periodically revived since.
