Top 5 Platform Sneakers For An Extra Lift Under ₹6,000

Wide-leg jeans and long skirts tend to look better with some height underneath. Heels give that height, but most people can't walk in them for very long. With a platform sneaker, the extra height comes from the sole, and the foot stays flat inside. These can be worn to college, to a weekend market, or to a mehendi with a short kurta. Canvas, leather, and textile uppers all show up in this list.

Compared to a block heel of the same height, a platform sneaker is easier to walk in. There are some with a sole stacked twice, some with an air-cushioned midsole, and still others with a raised rubber base. The upper is also quite important. As opposed to canvas or textile, you should use leather if you want the pair to look dressier. Check the ankle height too, since a high-top hides socks and a low-top shows them. Here are the 5 best platform sneakers you can buy on Myntra.

Price: ₹5,499 | Customer Ratings: 4.7/5

This model is the Chuck Taylor from Converse, put on a double-stacked sole. The upper is canvas, and the ankle patch is still on the side. Because it laces up, the fit can be tightened at the top. There is EVA cushioning inside. According to Converse, the look is inspired by '90s girl bands.

Key Features:

• Double-stacked sole
• Canvas high-top
• EVA cushioning

Why Buy: 

With denim shorts or a slip dress, a canvas high-top keeps things casual. The ankle patch makes it easy to tell these are chucks, too. Wipe off dust with a clean, dry cloth.

Key Features:

5. Nike Women Blazer Low Platform Sneakers

Price: ₹4,098 | Customer Ratings: 4.4/5

Nike has put the Blazer Low on an elevated midsole with double-taped detailing. The upper is leather, and the collar is low-cut and padded. The foam tongue is left exposed for a DIY look. Vulcanised construction joins the outsole and the midsole. The rubber sole has a herringbone pattern for grip.

Key Features:

• Elevated midsole

Why Buy: 

If you already like the original Blazer, this one keeps the same proportions on a higher sole. The herringbone grip helps on shiny mall floors also. It asks for the least of your budget here.

All five of these add height without the pain of a heel, and the upper is what sets them apart. The Lacoste upper is made of 73% leather, while the classic Blazer from Nike features leather as well. For comfort, Skechers has a 3.81 cm air-cushioned heel, and Puma puts SOFTFOAM+ inside a textile upper. The Converse pair is the casual one, made of canvas and featuring a double sole.
