Flatforms

[John_M.]

I'd rather clogs than these "flatforms." A wedge or platform wedge pair of shoes/sandals/boots/sneakers are better than these. These flatforms are just wrong on a lot of levels to make me get excited for them. In fact, these might be the "jeggings" of shoes as far as "why?" I don't get these flatforms...

Maybe it's the moniker - Flatform doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Remember these? My mom has had a pair since forever.

Ugh I really do not know how I feel about these. I like maybe two pairs but the rest are just blah. Who knows though, maybe they will make a big splash on the fashion scene.

It was bound to happen given our current obsession with flats... Not a fan tho.

 

[cherryairkisses]

screams late 90s/early 2000s to me. brings back all the fashion, hair, and makeup trauma that came with it.

 

[sssanguine]

Oh, I adore them! The perfect effortless chic shoe! I think they would look great with a long flowy maxi skirt or just easy going with cutoff shorts and a crop top. I would even wear some black leather flatforms with a wood wedge with a black leather pencil skirt! I like that they have a kinda 90s aesthetic.

So they're back? Fashion is quite cyclic but it's way too soon to see this trend again.

i've been considering a pair of kork ease for a while now...
having a hard time getting past the 'chunky' factor though...

...

chunky shoes do NOT elongate the silhouette...
and can make one look rather 'squat'...

Frye has some huarache wedges, sort of between a high heel and a flatform. I think I might get some in order to wear my long-hemmed wide-leg jeans with. For the most part, they'd be out of sight under denim, but allowing me to wear all those pants I had hemmed for stilletos.

I absolutely love them! My favorite would have to be...

They're by Won Hundred and I love them!

I can't stand flatforms. They are just ugly

 

[chanelslungbags]

I think ugly is what makes flatforms well flatforms. I wouldn't personally wear them they look blocky and it would be a hassle to walk in flatforms maybe Anna Dello Russo can give them a shot.

I'm sure in I like them but the Won Hundred are really cute.

 

[oceanhue]

I like the chunky ones with a bit more arch. Kinda reminds me of Spice Girls... I'm probably going to buy some so I can wear heels without stumbling around. I think they'll look cute with a nice pair of tight black jeans.

 

[KatherineCouture]

I'm sure that flatforms are comfortable but it looks ugly

 

[BettyCooper]

So 90's!

 

[oceanhue]

^the 90's were awesome and magical!

I can already hear us in 5 years.. "ewww remember flatforms lol"

agreed

 

[Inaya]

I agree this is one awful comeback.
I wore a pair of these constantly in the 9th grade, mid 90s, they were my mothers - from the 70's - and I thought they were the coolest things ever.. walked miles in them all summer and thought I was so unique to mix them with Descendents tshirts et al. terrible!

My sister had some in the 90s and I wanted to burn them.
The only reason it didn't happen was because I was afraid of lighting matches.
