platform soles
Thick shoe bottoms
Platform soles are thick, raised shoe bottoms that elevate the entire foot rather than just the heel.
Unlike high heels, which pitch the foot forward, platforms maintain a relatively flat angle while adding height.
They appear on boots, sandals, and sneakers: She towered in her platform soles.
The style cycles in and out of fashion, associated with 1970s disco and periodic revivals.
