Now I'm not one to follow trends but I haven't failed to notice the abundance of platforms and wedges in the shops at the moment. There are some really fab shoes on offer on the high street, especially in New Look (which I would post if you could have access their images!), but the one thing that really really bugs me is that on the majority of modern shoes the platform curves up at the front, which I think looks kinda weird and personally find really difficult to walk in - I keep feeling like I am going to tip forward! So with this in mind I this weeks Etsy feature is all about platforms of the vintage variety, enjoy!

Oh I LOVE the black and orange. Too small for my size 7 feet :( xx
I'm in love with the red and the blue ones. My god they are gorgeous.
Hi my dear-wow, what lovely wedges you've chosen, I do love the suede and snakeskin pair best xx
Love the glitter ones- sadly the wrong size, downside of vintage I guess!
Drooling over these, especially the 40s favorite of yours! A work of art, they are!!
I'm loving the last pair the most and cursing my size 7's. xxx
O,how bloody gorgeous!!! Yep,I agree on the last pair,I think they're my fave too!
But I'd be happy with any of these!

The 40's alligator and the 40's blue suede are amazing! Too small for me too. I'm a 6 but sometimes buy a 7 xx
These are stunning! I believe no modern shoe will ever compare to vintage platforms. I also agree that the blue 40s ones are fabulous :)
Some lovely shoes there, amazed that they are so old. Love the cork heeled ones oh and the sparkly ones of course!
If they all weren't so tiny!
They are all rather tiny, I guess that's why they haven't sold! Gorgeous tho!
Oh my god... those 1940s ones are... they escape words. If only they didn't cost several weeks worth of my pitiful student paycheck!
