My first pair of boots are 7 inches. I dont think there is such thing as beginner plats tbh haha
There are such things as "beginner" platforms. How about creepers? They have plats 2-3 inches tall, and not too much height on the heel. Anything with a fairly flat footbed will work to start with, don't put so much weight on the ball of the foot at first. (Jan Griffiths).
I really liked my Killstar shoes, actually over my Demonia in terms of them being more functional and comfortable. The demonia are a wedge heel type and they look SICK but after 4-5 hours my feet are dead. The Killstars, not heeled like that, feel like normal shoes!
Thats so true! I dont know what kinda technology killstar uses, but i once tried on some buckled shoes they felt so good, lightweight and as if they were moving with my foot as i walk🤯
Killstar shoes have a fairly flat footbed---the foot is kept in a more natural position (flat) than having most of the weight on the ball of the foot. I love my Killstar shoes too,, even though I only have 2 pairs at the moment. (Jan Griffiths).
It's the opposite for me 😅 my killstar boots have a wedged heel and my demonias keep my feet flat. Obviously depends on the style you buy from either company. But, the wedged platform KILLS my toes after walking for awhile 😂
I have one pair from the brand altercore and they are also very comfy, vegan and not too expensive 👌🏽
your videos are so calming! i feel like a friend is talking to me
I actually have a pair of demonia shaker-52’s
They’re very easy to walk in and they’re comfortable, and still look badass
@@imprisoned.marionette ayo I dont have good balance, you think I may be able to walk in those?
I'm not trying to be creepy lol but your name is so unique and you're so gorgeous 🌸
high key, bershka is my go to store when I like go shopping irl, I always find cool stuff there, would recommend going there ig-
You should make a video on some recommendations and maybe reviews of more masculine/unisex platforms
thank u so much for this video! i'm trying to get into alternative fashion and just bought my first pair of platforms off amazon, but this video helped introduce me to a lot more cool brands! i've been having so much fun looking at all their websites and definitely plan to refer to this when i'm looking to expand my collection. i hope you're having a good day!
Awww thank you so much for your kind words ❤️❤️ i am really happy that it was helpful to you!! I hope you have a good day too!!
Followed you secret tip last month and I‘m so glad that I ordered them, even their biggest size was one smaller than my actual shoe size. But they fit amazingly and I‘m in love 😍
Omg I love the advice on shoes! Thank you so much!! I always wanted to possibly get some platforms and I wasn't completely sure where and how to start and then I saw your video! :)
Thank you for this video! I bought my first platform shoes last year and I really love them so I wanna go for more. Your channel has helped me get to know more brands and styles :)
Aww that makes me really happy!! Thank you so much for your comment!!❤️
I got a Demonia Swing-150 as my first pair of platforms. I feel so good in them! I'm 5'2 and quite self-conscious about looking short.
Heyyy! :3 I found you through your Demonia Swing review and I am really enjoying your videos!! Thank you for sharing everything, you seem like such a charming and sweet person. 💗🖤
hi I just wanted to tell you that I love viewing your videos as they constantly keep my attention!! I appreciate you putting billet points of what you were saying since my attention span is pretty low lmao (also great for taking screenshots to look at them later on) thank youu
Oooooh thank you so much for your comment/feedback i really appreciate it and it helps me a lot to make my videos better❤️ and i am so happy that i can be helpful💕 thank you so much!!
i am 175 cm and yet i still watched the entire video :D
Aaahhh personally i think platforms on tall people look so bomb tho😍😍 thank you for watching❤️❤️
this helps so much i didnt really know what was the best for your first demonias so thank you
I really enjoyed watching your video. Those platform shoes look very nice. My wife has a lot of 10 and 12 inch platform heels and she wears them every day.
LOVING THIS VID!! Really educational, and I feel, very needed!
I got 2 pairs of platforms from Bershka and I’m literally obsessed with them, I got the black xl platform trainers, and the topstitch canvas platform trainers
Great video! You answered questions I didn’t even know to ask. Thanks!!
I was so relieved the shaker is easy to walk in
I have some ankle high platforms and bruh I love them. I promised myself I wouldn't wear platforms but here I am learning how to buy more. Thanks btw!!
i feel comfortable in your videos, it's like a lil safeplace for me
Aaaa thank you so much this makes me feel so good about what i do 🥺🥺❤️ thank you so much for your comment!!
I just stumbled upon this video! I am looking into buying some platforms cause omg I am almost 25 and I will finally dress how I want!!! lol. Seriously, girl, thanks so much. You are so beautiful by the way.
Thank you so much for this video! That's so helpful ❤️

I personally really recommend doc martens platforms for a first type of platform boots since their platforms arent that big and doc martens will last you longer than demonia which usually break around the heel (i have the sainclair which are approximately 5cm) , and im planning on buying demonia ashes-55
I’ve been wearing doc martens as a starter, they help me get used to walking with a little extra height. I’m planning to get demonia shakers just to take it up a notch
Im saving up for the Shaker-52 boots in white for my first platforms!!! Im so glad I watched this video so I know I'll be good with these as my first platforms, I ended up getting obsessed with platforms a while ago and I decided to save up!
my beginner platforms were 5½ inches. im getting shaker 52 next week tho- really excited!!
just got my first pair of Neptune 210s, I found I didn't need to adjust how I walked very much with them! Id recommend them for others wanting that sorta style of combat boot/alt boot hybrid
i just picked up the xl platform trainers from my local bershka store and they're so intimidating loll.. they're 10cm and my first platform shoes but i love them so much and can't wait to start wearing them!
My first pair of Platforms actually were Buffaloes. After I bought the black ones I completely fell in love and bought the white ones too. Now my black ones are falling apart (i wore them nearly everyday for 1 1/2 years). I recently bought the Demonia shaker 52 wedge and they were higher than I'd expected but I'm currently planning on keeping them (I could still send them back bc I didn't use them or have them longer than 30 days)
I wasnt gonna sub because I never sub lol but then you did the quiz and that was so fun and cute and original so subbed. Good luck on almost 10k!
Thanks for the tips!!! 💓
Cute boots love it,i have lots of platforms from hot topic and hawaii stores.
So very helpful! Thank you so much!
thank you for making this video. it's really informative.
Rave wonderland! Is a good one
another more expensive brand is Dollskill.
they do mostly have platform high heels but i did see some boots also
She’s got so many she rich rich luckyyy 💗💗
Eee! I wanna wear platform shoes and alt clothing so bad, but I can't for a bunch of reasons :(
thanks for the lovely and helpful video :)
i got buffalo butterfly sneakers and absolutely loved them. comfortable and amazing looking. wore them everyday in all conditions. despite paying 100€, they didnt even last a year. saw later on a reddit post of someone's buffalo shoes having the same rip in the shoe's sole as mine :/
i bought two demonia platforms for the price if one basically brand new but sadly they do infact run small and they arent the right length
I really want the Charade 110s, but i’ve never worn heels or platforms before, so i could definitely use advice.
Heyy sorry for the wait! Charade platforms were quite easy to walk in for me, but im used to heels and stuff so i am not sure if it will be the best platform to start with! On the other hand, they are easier than regular heels , thats for sure!😸
Try Anthony Wang shoes. The platform is hidden, and about 6-7 inches tall. These shoes are fairly chunky, and in many color combinations that are really crazy, as well as black and white. I have 5 pairs of them, as sandals, sneakers, and boots. They are variable in price, say 55-100 US dollars. They are very comfortable, and run true to size. (Jan Griffiths).
@@MiyukichanXarts They are!!! I get compliments all the time when I wear them, and other women ask where I got them from. Oh, and you're welcome. (Jan Griffiths).
I’m searching shoes for a concert (standing for over 3 hours) do you think it’ll hurt too bad ?
I stand in mine for hours at a time. Insides of these shoes have memory foam (boots and sneakers). Never had a problem. (Jan Griffiths).@@knowledgeseeker713
Thank you very much!
this helped to much, I really wanted some Demonias but I know they're not made well at all and wanted some good quality long lasting shoes
On my way to buy some Shakers!!!
you should DEFINITELY also check out the sustainability and the workers rights of the shoes!! we all know it costs more, but rather buy only a few pairs or even just one pair that you adore instead of tons! ♥️
Yes absolutely! I also stopped ordering a lot from pages like this❤️ its just that many people dont have money or access to these kind of shoes so i tried giving some alternatives
naked wolfe has to be one of my favorites but they look really expensive. i do have a pair of doc martens though.
I’m thinking about getting the Shaker-52s as my beginner/starter platform shoes since I got knock-off docs off of a sketchy website and they ripped apart after 6 months of wear. :)
The shaker 52 is a great choice as first pair, and at least like that you know that you defo wear them and that the money is well spent if u wore the other ones for 6 months!
Hi, I was considering buying the demonia swing 105, do you know whether the model is comfy or not? If it isn't I might as well just switch to the shaker. I couldn't find proper reviews so I was wondering if you knew :)
So i assume theyll definately be more comfortable than the swing 815 (the ones i have) but im telling you in my opinion for everyday wear, the shaker is my absolute favourite and i recommend this platform to everyone❤️
Dollskill has a crazy variety of platforms, it’s my favourite platform to buy them lol
Does anyone know where I can find these platform shoes in youth size 3? I can't find any
Hi! I just wanna say, The trashville shoes came but I had too big legs for them so I’m going to return them and getting the swing 105:(
Oh nooo thats so sad😭 was it waaay to small or was it just on the bigest setting too small? (If it was just a little u could make some new holes into the buckles to make them wider) but the swing 105 are equally amazing so sont worry dear❤️ and thank you so much for the follow up🙏🏻
~Miyukichan~ The shoe was too small and buckles, we couldn’t fix them cause they didn’t reach to the other side at all.-.
But I hope to get my new shoes this week
@@leisenlol3091 oooh i see! Damn thats sad but yes lets hope for the best!!
My first pair were like 2 or 3inches and second was like 5inches lol getting another pair soon
Hi!! I’m new to your channel (you’re great!) … I’m sure they are an older pair but what style is the Bershka’s??? I’ve looked online & see similar but not exactly those! TY!!
Heeyy thank you so much!❤️ i think they dont make this specific pair anymore im afraid🥺 maybe you could find them on depop or any resell website if you are lucky!
Hey, I want to get the Demonia Shaker-100 so bad but I‘ve never worn any platform shoes before. Do you think it’s a good Idea to buy them as a beginner? Are they comfortable? I also wanted to ask you if I should get a size up when I want to order Demonia Shoes?
Heyy absolutely, like i said in the video the shaker platform is suuuper comfy and i find it to be true to size (i even wear an insole in them so my feet dont wiggle around cause its quite wide in the front) ❤️
Thake you so much your video was helpful thakes again
Do you have any opinions about the swing 220 shoes? I’m very interested but don’t know if they are beginner friendly
Heyyy, if you are used to wearing heels then they might be, but personally id start with some ankle boots :)
I'm a beginner goth and I just bought the heavier platform shoes straight away no messing around
Hello fellow platform enthusiasts! Does anybody know what brand makes good shoes for very small feet? I am 4'10 and wear size a size 4 1/2. It can be difficult to find cool and alternative shoes that make them so small.
I just got my first one! Today was my first job (i'm 13)and since i was so exited i got the kera-08!💗
(Sorry if i mess up,i don't speak english sorry)
Hi :) thanks for the helpful video!! I‘m a total newbie to platforms and I am thinking of buying one of the Demonia Shaker models, but I can‘t decide whether to get the 65 or 100 version. Do you have any experience with these two models and could give me some advice?
Well i can say generally the shaker platform is very comfy to me, ofcourse there are always odd ones that are maybe different, but as they dont have anything special added to them i think either one is gonna be amazing😻 i just heard that the shaker 65 are tight for people with bigger calves!
@@MiyukichanXarts thank you for your fast response! I’ll probably get the shaker 100 model. ^^ I love your videos, keep up the good work!!
😍
Does anyone know about the Demonia bear 265s? I plan on getting them for a birthday gift but I’ve never worms plats before
I really wanna get the bear 104😍 i think they should be pretty stable and well to start with, might be a bit tall but still worth, as they are quite wide. Did you get them after all? 🥰
Hello! I’m thinking about getting the Damnation Platform Mary Janes from Dollskill by Current Mood! Have you had these or any from this brand? I’m hoping they aren’t tooooo tall but just right! They are super cute but I want α quality shoe too!
Heyyy, i have several current mood shoes (sadly not these ones) but in general they are really nice quality shoes! And dont worry, the platform will be just right im sure! 🤩
@@MiyukichanXarts thank you so much!! I just ordered them! Super excited! :) ❤️
Hey, would you recommend sizing up or down for the shaker 52s? I’ve heard mixed things about it so far :)
Id go for your regular size and then put an insole! The reason why many people feel like they are big is actually cause they are very wide (loooots of space in the front, hence why i put an insole) so yeah and if u are a half size then id probably size up :)
@@MiyukichanXarts My shoes just came in and the sizing is perfect! The insole suggestion worked perfectly aswell!
Ok but which ones are comfy enough to last thru edc
Im planning on buying my second platform shoes, my first ones were the swing ones (102 i think) and for me is really really hard to walk in them. I wanted to take the "kera 08" from demonia, everyone say that they are comfortable but im scared that i will fall 😭 Also i liked the "shaker 32" i think and they are tall the same and it doesnt look like the platform is the same, so i thought that i would take some less tall shoes so i considered the slackers or the dollie but everyone said they were uncomfortable. I really like the sprite 02 model. Also im scared that if the platform its too tall and without ankle support i'll die. Do you recommend any demonias under the knee (if possible) easy to walk so with a not too big platform?
Well i can tell you, the kera & shaker platform are very easy and very comfortable to walk in, they are very wide so it is almost impossible to fall in them unless you are doing some crazy gymnast acrobatics in them🤣 i have some emily platforms they are very comfy too but they are also not that tall. Dont wooorrry you got this! Shaker 52 is my go to haha!
I may be getting damned 225 I'm pretty sure its the
Number there the ones with spikes
I'm 12 Idk if I should get them
what do you think about the shaker 100? i have the camel 411s as my first platforms but i'm honestly scared to walk in them LOL
I love the shaker platform its super comfy and not super tall (i think camels are taller)
What kind of platforms do you suggest for concerts? I’m going to a concert and I’m in the pit and I’m supper short 5’2. I’m only trying to spend around 80 but yeah. Hottopic has some but a lot of the comments I’ve seen talk about how the boot was falling apart literally after 2 or 3 days of use.
Hmmm its s kinda tough one, i do recommend like a flare platform so there is little hazard of tripping in them , something like the kera platfrom from demonia or the yru qozmo 2 flare platform
I recently bought some platforms and they sort of slip when I walk on the heel (probably because they can't bend to my walk) do you have any tips for sorting this issue?
Did u try putting some padding or an insole? It could help to keep your foot better in place! 🤗
What would you like to see next?🦋
I'd like to hear how you take care of/ protect your feet wearing all of these platforms!
@@amaliadonastorg4173 ooh, yeah! Same here :)
Hmm! I'd like to see how to style demonia in different ways!
Platform CROCS! I was so obsessed with their Balenciaga that almost bough a $600 pair... Thankfully I found Cape Robin's cheap version and I was in heaven. Also Crocs made the BAE platform clogs and I was instantly in love with them too. I am a 100% platform addict and being able to go to the shore with platforms is great!
I’d like to see which ones are your favorites and why? :)
