Are platform heels better for your feet?

Platform heels can offer certain advantages over other high heels. For example, the platform sole at the front of the shoe under the toes is thicker, reducing the steepness of the foot's arch. As a result, this lowers the pressure on the balls of your feet compared to regular high heels.

The platform sole also provides additional cushioning and shock absorption, reducing strain on your feet and joints. Lastly, platform heels often have wider, more stable bases for walking, which offers more stability when dancing the night away.

Are platform heels comfortable?

If you're looking for the most comfortable heels for longer wear, platform heels are the ones to consider. Due to the advantages above, such as more cushioning, stability and a reduced foot arch angle, many find platform heels more comfortable. We regularly get feedback from our customers that the Daniel Arknot and Avery models are perfect for all-day wear at parties and weddings.

Are platform heels easier to walk in?

Many people find platform heels easier to walk in because of the larger, more stable surface area under the balls of your foot and the thicker heel, which helps with balance. However, due to the platform, platform heels are much higher than others, so if you're not used to walking in taller heels, we recommend practising in them before taking these out on the town.
