These boots are made for walking...

So comfy!
Platform boots are a big staple within the Goth and Metal community for both male and female and whatever one identifies as!

There's so many styles that exist from a variety of companies; such as Demonia, New Rock and T.U.K, to name a few, each havig their own signature style that work for different occasions.

My personal favourite are from Demonia. They were the first ever platforms I owned and I have loved the company ever since! They are always bringing out new and fantastic collections that blow me away everytime!

It's just a shame that I dont have the space!

As much as I love platforms, there are pros and cons to each of them! Don't worry, I won't go through every single platform you can get, as I would be here forever typing and you would just get
Life goals right here!
bored of reading!

Pros

  • The make any outfit just fucking badass! Plain tshirt and jeans, add platforms and BOOM! badass bitch!
  • They make it easier to see over people. The amount of times I've gone to gigs and someone just stands right in front of me is crazy! But, with an extra 5" it's not a problem!
  • People compliment you!
    They just look epic!
  • You can never have enough pairs! They'll all look different...unless you buy two of the same pair...
  • Puddles don't affect you! At this year's Bloodstock Open Air, it rained heavily for the first time in a while and there were puddles and mud everywhere! But luckily I had my boots and I was dry as a bone! My boots did need a good clean afterwards though!
  • They're better for you than flat ballet pumps. I can spend a good 20 hours in my boots before it starts getting a bit achey, where as I can only usually last a couple hours and then feel it for up to 2 or 3 days later!
  • There's differing styles and heights for your own individual style
  • They're idealat gigs, as it means no onecan stand on your feet when they're pushing past you!
Cons
  • They can be a little on the expensive side! That is is you go for the big name brands, but you might find a deal on eBay!
  • If you fall, you've got a lot way to go! It can also end up in a serious injury if you're not
    careful! Always use a rail when walking downstairs or you might end up in a first aid room, like I did at a gig! My ankle still hurts after 8 months! 
  • If you're a mosher, it's not so easy!
  • Public transport is not your friend,I've hit my head on a bus roof too many times!
  • You will get a lot of people staring at you
  • Sometime the fastening can break, which will cost a pretty penny to fix
  • They take up a lot of space
That's just a few of the good things and bad things about platform boots, I have no doubt that there are way more than I have put! If you've got any, pop them in the comments down below! 

Even though there are several downsides to having and wearing platforms, I still have a major love for them. There's just something about them that just give me way more confidence whenwalking around town.

Let me know what your favourite platform company and why you love them! I love hearing other people's views!

And just remember...

Stay spooky!
