Wooden Platform Shoes For Sale on 1stDibs

Find an extraordinary variety of wooden platform shoes available on 1stDibs. Our collection of wooden platform shoes includes a variety of colors, spanning Black, Brown, Gray and more. Wooden platform shoes such as these have likely been a part of the legacy of many fashion designers, but those produced by Chanel, Christian Louboutin and Stella McCartney are consistently popular. Finding accessories for sale for women should be easy, but there are 1 pieces available to browse for men as well as unisex, too.

How Much are Wooden Platform Shoes?

Prices for wooden platform shoes can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — on 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $100 and can go as high as $1,995, while these items, on average, fetch $355.

Finding the Right Shoes for You

Whether they’re Hermès sandals, black Jimmy Choo boots, ivory-leather-and-pink-daisy heels by sublime shoemaker Manolo Blahnik or Christian Louboutin platform pumps, you can find your next pair of legendary luxury vintage and designer shoes today on 1stDibs.

Shoes offered by the likes of Versace, Chanel, Charles Jourdan or Prada are integral to completing your carefully orchestrated street-style or evening ensemble these days, but footwear wasn’t always the big deal it is for your average Adidas enthusiast.

The decorative floor-length gowns that upper-class women of the 18th century wore meant that their shoes, then likely featuring high curved heels finished with woven or embroidered silks — a sharp contrast to the heavy, rudimentary form of the era’s footwear for men — were partially or entirely obscured by the base of their ornate dresses. What good is fashion if it’s tucked away?

Our modern age’s legions of sneakerheads might have trouble tracking down a pair of black-and-gold vintage Jordans but can at least fill their dream closets with original Adidas Gazelles or 1980s New Balances if they put the time in, while 1990s-era Prada pumps or a good pair of mid-20th-century jewel-tone heels in satin or silk haven’t lost their allure with today’s nostalgic fashionistas.

A pair of shoes can commemorate an achievement, mark an important trip overseas and is sometimes a rich manifestation of a hard-won physical feat. On 1stDibs, find Chanel flats or two-tone heels, Christian Dior pumps, vintage Margiela Tabi boots and many more designer shoes today.

Questions About Wooden Platform Shoes
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, platform shoes are not from the ‘70s. Platform shoes have been around for centuries, with origins in Greek theater. Salvatore Ferragamo popularized the footwear again in the 1930s with his rainbow-soled design. Find vintage and contemporary platform shoes from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Platform shoes came into style during the 1960s and 70s and remained popular into the 1980s. However, the shoes first debuted during the 1930s. Contemporary footwear designers continue to produce platforms. You'll find a selection of vintage shoes on 1stDibs.
