Platform Sandals Are Reaching New Ridiculous Heights

We’re betting you wish you held on to your 90s and early 2000s wardrobes right about now. After all, everything from the decades is back in fashion’s good graces. A few years back, Steve Madden decided to bring back his iconic platform sandals for summer. And we forgot just how supremely stylish those sky-high shoes can be.

The designer isn’t alone. Several brands are jacking up the platforms for extreme silhouettes. From pumped up wedges to mules, the variety is pretty amazing. As are the prices. You can snag a pair from Loewe or Saint Laurent. Although you need to be prepared to pay a high premium. Of course, more fast-fashion takes are being added to the market daily. So you don’t have to invest in this current craze. Which is probably wise since it could easily turn into a fad.

We hope you’re not afraid of heights, though. Because these platforms will have you towering over everyone. Or at least over anyone who hasn’t accepted the trend. Better do some ankle-strengthening exercises, too.

Here’s our list of the best modern-day platform sandals to add to your summer wardrobe. But act fast. These lofty sandals are selling out pretty quickly.
