Platform shoes such as those made by Miss Sixty are currently at the forefront of fashion, it has been reported.

Unlike stilettos, Miss Sixtys peep-toe platform shoe with cut-out details and zipper trim is the perfect way to gain some extra height without compromising on balance, according to the Examiner.

The classically feminine peep-toe suede heels feature side-zip entry and a padded foot bed, as well as a 1.25 in hidden and stacked platform and 4.75 in stacked heel.

The magazine said that fashionistas should make sure they choose a style of platform that works well with their wardrobe and is of a high quality.

“These days platform heels look great with tweed separates, kilts and rich brocades just in time for the fall season,” it advised.

In other Miss Sixty news, visitors at the opening of the brand new shoes and accessories store in Zagreb were recently greeted by a giant heel made of flowers.
