Platform boobs, haha!

I LOVE platform boots! I love the look of platform heels, but when I go out, I usually just wear flat platform boots because with them, you really don't have to worry about getting too drunk to keep your balance. They are VERY easy to walk in. Just remember to really watch yourself going up steps at first, because until you get more accustomed to walking in them and remembering that there's such thick soles on there, you could not lift your leg up far enough and trip up the stairs.


I have this boot:
http://www.pennangalan.co.uk/boots/FW104.php
in black leather, black patent leather, and red patent leather. It is one of the most comfy boots ever! The front platform is 2.5" and the back is 3".

I also have these New Rock boots, which are also incredibly comfy and easy to walk in:
http://www.newrockstore.com/zona3/ca...roducts_id=112

Also, the "lift" soles, like transmuters have and some Fantasy(Pennangalan) boots have are quite easy to walk in, despite the 5.5" heel/3" toe.

Platform boobs...? Oh, my. The boots are quite easy to walk in, as long as you don't fall...in which case, they are evil. Especially when you take a miss-step, and crush your ankle. Other than that, though, thay are lovely.

But don't the soles get heavy? I imagine that after a long day I'd be dragging my feet if I wore boots like those chelseagirl posted pics of. Though, I would probably manage anyway, they just looks so damn awsome!

Nop, they don't get heavy at all, or at least not with me. They are easier to walk in than in tha classic heels altho I do love the thin heels too, a day doesn't pass without me walking on heels.

Same here. I'm ALWAYS in heels (and/or platforms). To the point where everyone jokes around with me about my real height. xD
But, I wear heels (and/or platforms) so often that I trip over my feet if I'm not in them. :C

Platforms are so easy to walk in.
Everyone always assumes they get heavy as the day progresses, but they don't.

I can't really wear heels. I'm extremely awkward and clumsy usually, so I wear china flats all the time.
I'm wearing a stilletto heel to prom, though, so I've been training myself to walk in them.

Yeah, you wouldn't know it by looking at them, but they are actually quite light! The soles are made of a foam material, and is amazingly light. I would say that all of my platform boots (New Rocks and Fantasy), are not any heavier than my steel toe 10 eye doc martens.

I have boots similar to chelseagirl http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...c/100_4812.jpg

Most of my boots are on a platform sole like in the picture
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...n/100_4373.jpg

I find them comfortable if they are flat soles. I can walk in heels, but it becomes painful after a while. As for the weight, they are very light as chelseagirl had mentioned. Just be careful when walking up/down stairs and be extra careful when walking on uneven ground. I've hurt my ankle plenty of times. Took 6 months for my right ankle to heal after a really bad fall. I partially blame the alcohol.

They don't hurt that bad, especially when you wear them so much you lose the feeling in your feet.

You know, sometimes a girl wants to be able to look her boy in the eyes without dislocating her neck. So yeah, platforms are a godsend

Good, I'm glad you do. I just think for my own style they go overboard with being a platform boot; I'll give you the websites' link if you'd like to know where I got the image.

Saddiction: I concur, that is quite a nice collection of boots. Also...I ALWAYS blame the alcohol!

I know a girl who has these (the third pair down, called "cocked")
http://www.vixensandangels.com/Item.cfm?Type=23&v=1

It seriously boggles my mind how she walks in them! I would so break my legs in a dozen places!
