First came the platform. Grandees, wanting to show their status and rise above their subjects, put wooden planks at their feet. Then the grandees noticed that thanks to such shoes, you can move through the mud without getting dirty. So the social function of the platform was also mixed with practical one.

When representatives of the upper classes had to move in the saddle, they found the inconvenience associated with a single shoe sole. For practical reasons, people had the idea to separate the heel and toe of the sole. So came the heel.

At first, such shoes were more masculine than feminine and quite different from the ladies shoes that we see now. Modern women's shoes are more sophisticated, have many shapes and styles, and comfort, often, gives way to appearance.

In the new season, platform shoes are a must have, as stylists and designers stubbornly remind of. What are modern women's shoes with a heel and a platform? In order to answer this question, you need to start with the concept of a platform, and how it differs from a tankette.

In turn, the wedge - the form of the most stable heel, in the form of a solid sole, tapering from heel to toe. The thickness of the wedge can have a significant difference, affecting the height of the heel.
