Platform heels...is it just me? Or do they they look pretty damn funny?

I mean, come on...they are pretty damn hilarious, no?

I'm just pondering how anyone can find them attractive. They may be Louboutins, but my God they look ridiculous.

Check out the clumpatrons in the third picture down...

Money does not = style quite clearly! Hope they enjoyed it though. But seriously the shoes looked daft! And i love heels.......

You know i've been thinking the same lately, i've quite a few platforms, but my last 3 shoe purchases have had normal soles. They just seem to look silly lately.
Perhaps they've had their day!

CherryBlossom27 · 13/04/2012 14:52

No I don't like them...I'm too tall and I'd be like 6"6 in those monsters! I honestly couldn't walk in them even if I tried and I do wear normal heals!

CherryBlossom27 · 13/04/2012 14:53

Heels not heals!

StellaAndFries · 13/04/2012 14:54

I love the look of the platform heels but alas can't walk in anything higher than a kitten heel.

squoosh · 13/04/2012 14:54

Those mega platforms are just so ugly and make the wearer look ungainly. I like a small platform as they are comfy but those look like comedy shoes.

Also Colleen would like nice with a below the knee length for once.

I think those ones do look a bit odd, but platforms are so much more comfortable as you can get the height with the heel, but the foot isn't at such an angle because the sole is also raised.

I know they're not made to be sensible shoes, but for me that's the only type of heel I can manage to walk in!

Those extreme louboutin platforms as worn by Colleen and others look incredibly ugly.

BackforGood · 13/04/2012 15:14

No, it's not just you, they do look ridiculous (and I speak as another lover of heels - for the right occasion).

Ah see I'm a serious wedge fan and I have just bought 2 new pairs that are well stacked Smile

I only like a platform if its on a wedge though.

Colleen always seems to wear those fit and flare dresses which make her look lumpen.

I imagine what she is wearing cost her thousands but it all looks so crap, tbh.

sassytheFIRST · 13/04/2012 15:43

Do like Colleen's hair and makeup there though

southeastastra · 13/04/2012 15:53

the make up is appalling, her eyebrows are weird and she's an odd colour.

fail all round though compared to some of the other pics from aintree it's tame

sassytheFIRST · 13/04/2012 15:58

True south - the eyebrows are grim and she is tangoed - do like the sixties eye make up though and think it goes well with the hair.

GetOrfMoiLand78 · 13/04/2012 16:01

I think she is a very pretty girl, but her dress sense is appalling and her eyebrows are very strange. And god knows why she is so botoxed up in her early 20s.

Megatron · 13/04/2012 17:08

I think they're hideous. Platforms can look fantastic but they've crossed over into the realms of cartoon shoes now.
