What is up with the latest trend in women’s shoes?

If you’ve attended a graduation or prom this season – you probably watched some young women teetering around on some REALLY big shoes... 

Platform shoes are nothing new – but this season they’re on the rise again. Twice the height of a traditional high heel, these shoes rise about 6 or 7 inches in the heel – but the additional inch or two under the front make them a little easier to walk in. 

There’s nothing subtle about these trendy platforms. This season the design is not just in the shoe – but in the brightly colored or adorned platform portion. Lots of straps or ties around the ankles complete the look of these in-your-face shoes. If you’re more of the sneaker type, you’re in luck. High heeled and platform sneakers are available too if you’d like your next jog to be a real challenge.
