Platform shoes may add to the length and sex appeal of your legs, but you may not care for the style itself. There's a reason why platforms are known as sexy shoes and you may not be bold enough to pull off the style. An alternative has emerged in the "hidden platform" shoe which builds a platform inside the shoe itself,completely concealed by the upper. That way, you can have the tasteful style you like AND the illusion of long, alluring legs that only platforms can provide. Your toes will love hidden platform pumps!
Depending on the construction, hidden platforms may also provide additional comfort and stability that gives you more confidence when stepping out in those kicky stilettos. You can find hidden platforms in a wide range of sexy styles - anything from a pair of fun red pumps to those thigh-high boots that you've been secretly dreaming about. From sandals to boots, there are so many styles, colors and designs. The best part? You don't have to break the bank. Although concealed platforms initially started off on the designer realm, many more shoe companies have caught onto this sexy style.
Platform shoes of any kind have enjoyed a long and rich history in many cultures. They were worn by ancient Greek actors to add to their stage presence, and high-born Renaissance ladies wore "chopins" averaging 6-16 inches in height and sometimes reaching 30 inches. They became so high that the ladies required walking poles or servants to keep them from crashing down if they made a bad step. Not until the 20th century would platform shoes reassert themselves to the heights of fashion they had enjoyed before. When you put on your own pair, you are participating in a long tradition of fashion history. If you generally shy away from heels because you've never felt at ease with them, hidden platforms can make wearing high heels easier. Running, dancing and using stairs in these shoes present fewer problems than doing the same things with conventional high heels, not to mention wearing them day in and day out at work.
You'll find that hidden platforms are just like potato chips -- you can't stop at just one pair! There are just so many styles that you can find a pair to set off just about any look and any figure. Do you want a slick, shiny patent look? Do you like to go all-out in leopard prints or glitter? Look sexier, taller and leaner with a great pair of sexy shoes. Yes, it's just that easy.
