Urban Outfitters platform shoe-boots

These boots benefit from a clever trick for girls who like the extra height but don't like walking long distances in heels. With a covered platform, you get a bit more lift without so much pressure on the balls of your feet (the rise is probably only an inch and a half when you take the platform into consideration). With pleats on the heel and toe and the choice of black or cream, they're yours for £130 at Urban Outfitters.
