Don’t these platform shoes look like they’ll transport you right back to the 70s? Click your heels together three times and you’re there.

The last ones especially are reminiscent of John Travolta in the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever (fun Wikipedia fact: John Travolta still has his platform shoes from the movie in his closet at home).
Platform shoes were huge in the 70s and they came in practically all kinds of materials: cork, plastic, rubber, wood -there was even one kind where the heel was see-through and there was a real live goldfish swimming in it!

Makes for interesting footwear but of course now, you’ll probably get arrested by an animal rights group if you even attempt to wear shoes with living organisms in the heel.
These funky jazz shoes from Pleaser USA are actually available for purchase online. Just click on the pictures of the shoes above and it’ll take you right to page where you can order them.
Pleaser USA platform shoes are true to the original retro design that were all the rage back in the 70s. The question is – can you wear them the way they are? It’s easy to find “70s-inspired” platform shoes but only the stylishly bold and daring can wear the actual 70s design and get away with it.
Think you have what it takes? You’ll certainly turn heads, grab attention and get people to notice you in these Pleasure USA Jazz-02 platform shoes.
