A Throwback to Platform Wedges of the 70s

by Erika

Although this is quite a recent picture, Kristin Cavallari here looks like she could be Marcia Brady from 70s TV show The Brady Bunch:

The bouncy blond hair, the short dress, the platform wedges – the only thing missing is a splash of colorful print and we’d expect her to burst into song with her five siblings.

The platform wedge shoe is a 70s trend that has endured nearly over four decades and for good reason: it adds height, it actually lets you walk and it’s a fun and sexy style. It’s a shoe that adds more sway to your step but isn’t as “come-hither” as a stiletto. It’s a style that a wider range of women are willing to try and because it supports the entire foot from toe to heel, you can walk in them all day without worrying about aching feet.

The stunning Quiana Wedge from Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson’s shoe collection is a throw back to the 70s platform wedge:

You can picture Marcia Brady wearing them, no? The 4-inch platform in a cork finish makes them even more retro.

The Quiana Wedge is also similar to Kristin Cavallari’s, except this shoe features a more intricate lattice design and double ankle straps. You can get these lovely platform wedges at heels.com for $88.99. Shipping is free. If you’d like a different color other than tan, heels.com not only has them in black and gold but is also selling them at $80.09 and $71.19 respectively.
