Alright, let’s gab about them platform shoes shoes, you know, the ones with the thick bottoms? I seen ’em on TV, all them fancy singers and movie stars wearin’ ’em. Heard some of their names, like… uh… Christina somethin’-somethin’ and that little gal from that dragon show, yeah, her too. Even Britney, bless her heart, she likes ’em high.
Now, I ain’t no spring chicken, but I tell ya, these shoes, they ain’t nothin’ new. They been around longer than I been sellin’ eggs at the market! Folks used to wear ’em way back when, I reckon to look taller or somethin’. Same reason they wear ’em now, I guess. Wantin’ to be big and important, like they standin’ on a box.
But let me tell ya, these new ones, they somethin’ else. Some of them are so high, you’d think you’d break your neck! Heard they got different kinds too. Like, some are sneakers, you know, for runnin’ around, though I can’t imagine runnin’ in them things. And some are fancy, for goin’ to parties or whatever. They say they make you taller and stylish, like you got some kinda special “style points” or somethin’. I just call it lookin’ like you gonna topple over.
I seen pictures, they got these shoes, the bottoms, they can be this high, holds up her finger an inch or this high, holds up four fingers. Can you imagine? Walkin’ around like you on stilts? I bet you’d be wobblin’ all over the place. My old feet would never forgive me.
And the brands, oh boy, they got all kinds of brands makin’ ’em. Converse, Nike, that one with the stripes, Adidas, I think they call it. Even them Teva sandals, they got platforms now! It’s a whole thing, I tell ya. A whole thing.
- Platform Sneakers: Them thick-bottomed tennis shoes. Look comfy, but I dunno ’bout walkin’ all day in ’em.
- Platform Heels: Now these, these are the ones I don’t get. High heels are bad enough, but makin’ the whole bottom thick? That’s just askin’ for trouble.
- Platform Sandals: Even sandals, the ones you wear in the summer, they got thick bottoms now. I guess they figure, why not make everything a platform?
They say these shoes, they ain’t just for lookin’ fancy. They say they comfy too. But I dunno, seems to me like walkin’ on a brick. But then again, I ain’t never wore ’em. Maybe they got some kinda magic insole or somethin’. Who knows?
And the prices, don’t even get me started. Some of them shoes cost more than my whole chicken coop! I mean, for shoes? Seems a bit crazy, if you ask me. But folks seem to like ’em. Guess they figure it’s worth it to look tall and stylish.
So, if you ask me, are these platform shoes shoes any good? Well, I reckon it depends on what you’re lookin’ for. If you wanna be taller and you don’t mind wobblin’ around a bit, then maybe they’re for you. But if you’re like me, and you just want somethin’ comfy and practical, well, stick to your regular shoes. That’s what I say.
But hey, to each their own, right? If folks wanna wear ’em, let ’em wear ’em. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you twist your ankle. And for goodness sake, be careful on them stairs! You’ll be lookin’ like a newborn giraffe tryin’ to walk.
I tell you what though, fashion these days, it’s always changing. One day it’s this, the next day it’s that. Remember them bell bottoms? And them big shoulder pads? This platform shoe thing, it’ll probably fade away too. But for now, folks are wearin’ ’em, so I guess they’re here to stay for a bit. Just try not to break your neck, alright?
