About Platform Sandals:
Platform sandals are a footwear option that combines style with added comfort. Featuring a thick sole under the front of the foot, these sandals decrease the foot’s arching angle compared to traditional high heels, offering a more comfortable experience. Platform sandals come in various styles, including ankle-strap, slip-on, and wedge, and are available in a range of colors and materials. They add a modern touch to any outfit and are worn for both casual and formal occasions. With their ability to elevate a look while providing stability, platform sandals are a common choice for red carpet and public appearances.
