High-Heeled High-Tops

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Platform Sneakers are Fashionably Sporty

— September 6, 2013 — Fashion
Platform sneakers are a fun way to dress up while still embodying your tomboy personality.

These shoes are definitely for the girls who love running shoes, as apart from the super high heel, they look exactly like running shoes, laces and all. While they definitely cannot be used for running, they're not super-girly, like open-toe, skinny high-heeled pumps. The entire shoe stands at a giant 8.75 inches, with the platform itself at 4.25 inches.

These leather wedge-like shoes have a fully-lined interior, making them super comfortable. While these pumps wouldn't be the first choice to wear to a formal event, they're definitely the perfect shoe for a casual outing with friends -- with an extra bit of class and edge.
