Could I have your opinions on these platform trainers please?

[EarlyIntheMorning]

I want something that looks casual and is comfortable, but I am short (and a bit overweight at the moment) so without the extra elevation, I look shite, no matter what I wear. In my late 40s. Hit me!

My opinion: they are awful and don’t even flatter tall, slim types.

I think they’re quite nice. If I’m being picky, I’m not to keen on the turned up sole at the front. How about these platform superga instead?

However, if you like them, go for it!

*too

No! There's a reason they're in the sale.

I agree with PP I like them but not the turned up front

Prefer the ones without the turned up front.

Puma do nice platform trainers that are light weight. Superga are so heavy and the platform ones weigh a tonne!

Dreadful. They look like orthopaedic shoes rather than platform trainers.

Linky Plump82?

There's a few styles but my favourites are baskets. I have an all white pair and a black pair with gum soles. These are nice www.soletrader.co.uk/puma-basket-platform-reset-trainers/pplatgrm/

Damn just noticed theyre out of stock. Just Google Puma Basket platforms.

These Adidas ones are smart!

They are nice trainers for sure but don't give me much height...

Oh those Adidas ones are lush, I need them.

What size are your feet OP? I have big feet and similar styles don't suit me.

Sorry OP, I'm not keen on the ones you linked to.

Check out the Superga flatform espadrille xx

I like these too x

They aren’t as bad as I was expecting. Your thread title conjured up images of Baby Spice horrors.

I don't like them

Those Levi ones are really nice!

What about something more like these?

Hmm... I think they would look ok if worn like in the pictures, with bare, tanned.ankles. Also with a 'fashion-forward" outfit. Otherwise they do look a bit orthopaedic.

They look like orthopaedic shoes.

The Levi's ones are lovely but they'll get dirty so quickly. A leather equivalent would be fab, pref in a blush/beige tone. It looks like a 4cm platform is quite feasible to achieve a casual look but not look crap.
