If you have ever been to rave then you understand the effects it has on your feet, from walking a lot to standing mostly the entire time to getting stepped on constantly our feet take a major beating.
It would make sense to wear something comfortable right? But as humans we chose fashion over comfort. We wouldn’t be caught dead in some raggy old tennis shoes that would kill the outfit that we spent weeks planning.
Platform Shoes vs heels
I’m sure your thinking platform shoes aren’t those a thing from the 70’s that my mother wore to the disco? Well yes, but they are actually making a huge comeback.
Platform shoes are a hybrid between shoes and high heels. They give you the height of a heel but with the comfort of a shoe.
I’m sure you’ve worn high heels before. And I’m sure that you felt uncomfortable at one point or another. Heels are terrible for back support and at a rave you’re dancing all night long walking around from set to set and it’s just all around uncomfortable, But heels look cooler and can go with your outfit better than a tennis shoe.
So that’s where a platform shoe comes in. You are able to have the comfort of a shoe, but with the height of a heel.
