platform sneakers
Thick-soled casual footwear
Platform sneakers are athletic-style shoes with thick, elevated soles—typically an inch or more—that add height while maintaining a casual look.
Unlike high heels, the sole is relatively flat from toe to heel: She wore platform sneakers to the concert.
Popular in the 1970s and revived periodically since, they blend comfort with a bold, chunky aesthetic.
