Could I have your opinions on these platform trainers please?

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!

I ended up buying the converse lift which are just like the chunky superga and levi's, and they look horrible on me. I do really need the height....

OP, what shoe size are you?

I'm short too and have been on a quest for flatform trainers to add a few precious inches to my height. Recently I bought these in the sale from Zara, very similar to the ones you posted. I love them.

I have found some Steve Madden flatforms 1, Steve Madden flatforms 2 and some Ash flatforms in limited sizes in the sale.

Could I have your opinions on these platform trainers please?

They're hideous Jane. Sorry.

I have awful taste in shoes but even I think those are too ugly Jane, sorry Grin

I have these. The Adidas Stan smith bolds are so comfortable that I've bought 2 pairs.

Those are beautiful Era. Unfortunately I need to let go of the look to achieve the height as those are not high enough...

Early Google wedge trainers. You'll get the height without the clumpiness

Pleased to have entertained with my hideous shoes Grin

They look like something from an orthopaedic clinic circa 1968.
