Grounded by Platforms A fad for the fall season is the re-emergence of the platform shoe. Platforms give you an instant lift in confidence as well as height, and they don’t have to be the overtly chunky styles from the 70’s. With the range of height and heels available this season, any body shape or look can be accessorized with a platform. Take your pick!
