Platform sandals

The most popular summer shoes are open options, because they are not hot. Not so long ago, the general fashion returned to the platform, and every year fashion houses are trying to prove that the higher the block, the more stylish the image. Fortunately, extra centimeters do not prevent such a sole from being stable and comfortable. The platform has not spared sandals, and their harmonious union created incredibly trendy and beautiful models of shoes for the warm season.

The trend is bright and stylish models, many decorative elements, as well as femininity. Some brands create such shoes that they look like a small work, are pleasing to the eye and amaze the imagination, and are not a common item that helps keep your feet safe.

Remain relevant not only solid platforms, but with a dedicated heel. However, in both cases, the emphasis was transferred from the upper part of the sandals to the lower. The platform is decorated in all possible ways, for example, embroidery, appliqués, chains, rivets. And the upper part, in order to balance such a bright sole, is made, on the contrary, as concise as possible.

However, accuracy, tenderness and femininity are not to everyone's taste. Although the frankly masculine style in sandals is not in trend, there are still a lot of models in a rather rude performance. This is achieved by a massive platform, not rarely embossed, with wide buckles, accessories.

Among specific styles, it is worth highlighting ethno. Such sandals are bright and not always ordinary, as their design contains dyed leather, fancy decor, and also textiles.

Separately, it is worth considering such a question as the degree of openness of sandals, because several standards are in fashion at once. The top of the maximum open shoe consists only of thin straps and straps, so that most of the legs are visible. The strap may be slightly larger, they can be intertwined with each other and create a more stable fixation. In slightly open models, only the thumb is visible, since the toe has a small slot under it. And finally, the models are completely closed on the toe.

As for fashionable combinations, here it is worth talking about short clothes, for example, about skirts, shorts, dresses. The plus of the continuous platform is that with it the length of the mini does not look vulgar, but stylish and youthful.

For those who do not want to open a view of their legs, the cardinal opposite is suitable - maxi skirts and dresses. For office workers and anyone who needs to follow a dress code, you should take a closer look at skinny trousers.

The platform can be either solid, flat or separate, that is, divided into two parts and with the presence of a heel. Moreover, the rise does not depend on the type of sole, and can be quite noticeable, medium height or completely flat.

Due to the height of the platform, even models with heels can be with a slight rise, so that this shoe will be able to go almost all day.

The heel itself can be thick, the shape of a "barrel", square, to harmoniously look with a massive platform, and a thin hairpin.

Regardless of the type of sole, platform or heel, high sandals are in trend. They have a lot of advantages, because they help to appear taller, make the silhouette more curly, long-legged. In addition, the platform allows shoes to be comfortable.

The height of the platform in front of the toe starts from four centimeters, and in the area of ​​the heel reaches all fifteen. Such sandals will undoubtedly help a short girl to literally rise above all.

But the height is not suitable for everyone, and not everyone likes it. Therefore, among sandals there are many models on a low platform. It can be flat, that is, of the same height in all areas, or some rise is possible closer to the heel. Low sandals look less impressive than high sandals, but they are much more convenient and versatile, because they are suitable for daily wear and work.

Despite the fact that there are several materials that make up the platform for sandals, only some of them give a special characteristic look. The cork sole is very light, so the shoes from it can be said to be weightless, and it looks so that it can not be confused with anything. The rubber platform is perhaps the most common, in addition, it ideally looks in a trendy tractor, that is, corrugated, performance.

For the upper part, leather (natural and artificial), suede, textiles, rubber, silicone, denim, and sometimes even plastic are used. Among natural materials, linen, cotton and silk are popular.
