Platform Pumps

I'm quite grateful for the emergence of the platform pumps as the height of heels has grown higher and higher, because with the help of the little extra height in the front, they can be quite wearable. A 4.5 (or more) inch heel doesn't feel so torturous anymore. I especially like the ones that conceal the platform by building it inside the shoe, it looks like it's all in the heel.
