Fashion Let's End This: Hidden-Platform Sneakers, Yes or No?
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Recently a reader wrote to me for some advice on shoes (don't laugh, it happens):
Ok, need some feedback on this trend and thought you could weigh in. Is this sneaker way too fad and obnoxious/silly or kind of growing on you, cute, gives some height to shorties who like to wear sneakers? Your thoughts? If these where not so expensive I think I might consider falling into the latter point of view but at this price seems like it could be a waste. I feel like when these first came out these were no doubt awful. High heeled converse = yikes, but it seems like they are developing a bit. Or am I crazy?
