Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Overuse causes a ligament in the arch of your foot to weaken, especially without proper footwear. Excessive wear, especially on the inside edges and in the toes area, can show that’s happening. Worn-out padding in the ball of the foot could indicate a number of foot problems including falling arches.

Detailed explanation-2: -Platform shoes enjoyed some popularity in the United States, Europe and the UK from the 1930s to the 1950s but not nearly to the extent of their popularity from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Detailed explanation-3: -Platform shoes also have a raised heel, but the difference is that they have a thick sole as well. Rather than have a flat surface under the ball of the foot, platforms offer an extra boost in front. They come in wedge or heel styles, but we love the wedge style for the warmer weather.

Detailed explanation-4: -Platforms are so versatile and easy to wear, with styles ranging from sneakers and boots to sandals and heels. Some of the hottest platform shoes on the market right now are the UGG Classic Ultra Mini Platform boots for $150 and the Steve Madden Lando Leather loafers for $99.95.
