THOSE ARE SOME HOY SHOES!

In the 70's I nwas 15 6'2" and i whore stacks (platform shoes)

my first platforms were in 6th grade and they had macrame design flowers on the side- i remember my aunts whispering to each other about them when i proudly showed them off-i think they thought my mother was terrible for letting me ware such shoes. a couple of yrs later my brother got some(no macrame flowers for him though) and he looked like a pimp.

I had a pair of patton leather wedge platform shoes. They were pretty expensive at the time, because they were imported, but those shoes had soul ! They put me up another 5 inches tall :) I was a pro at walking in them too. I miss those shoes.

i had loads of platform shoes it made me look bigger as i/m only 4ft 9ins, they were fab,apart from that ive got bad feet now

these are stripper shoes!!!!!!

I had black leather platforms loved them cause it made me taller only 5 ft.They were so easy to walk with because they were high in front and back not like these high heels of today.Also had the cork platform sandals.

I even had sneakers that were platform. Surprisingly comfortable. I do remember in about 1975 pairing my highest platform sandals with my shortest dresses. Makes me wonder now who let me out of the house?

those shoes went hardd ! lol

I had a pair of men's platform shoes, shorter than the ones I really wanted, but Mom said no to the really high ones. I loved those shoes. Circa 1974. They were lace-ups in an "antique look" burnished brown leather with woven detail on a circa one-inch stacked platform and three-inch stacked heel. The ones I really wanted were blue suede lace-ups with a much higher platform and heel made of a single piece of natural grain wood, like walking on a big block of wood. Mom wouldn't let me have 'em.

I was afraid if I wore them, I'd fall on my face!

I loved platform shoes. Got my first pair in 6th grade. They were natural leather sandals that crossed over in the front and had straps and a buckle to keep them on. I felt so cool and grown up.

I had a pair of red platform shoes and a short dress. When I wore them I was over 6ft. I loved my shoes.

I bought a pair of Men's platform shoes in the early 70s. I was already over 6 foot tall and these had some really big heels and platforms. I got them at Flagg Bros in the mall. They were really expensive, but were quality shoes with nice soft leather and a contrasting diamond pattern on the toes. The first day I wore them to school, I went into the bathroom to comb my hair and all I could see in the mirror was from my chin down. A girl at school asked why someone as tall as I was would buy shoes to make themselves even taller. I usually wore them with the high waisted, long flare leg pants, but I once went to a party and decided to dress them down with a pair of straight legged Levi's jeans. I thought it was a little more of a rock and roll look. A lot of the people were partying in the yard instead of inside and I walked around the uneven ground in the dark in those shoes. When I finally decided to walk home, I turned my ankle in some loose gravel on the shoulder of the road and my heel broke clean off. It was too cold to go barefoot and I had a hell of a time walking home in those things with just one heel.

I wore platforms all during high school, and even today. I wore them when I graduated high school in 1973.
