Philippa | Chunky Platform Trainers Ridged Sole

Ridged sole. Round toe. Steady lift.

The platform is the whole argument here: thick, ridged and even underfoot, so you gain height without the pitch of a heel. A round toe leaves room across the front of the foot, which matters by the fourth hour. Metal eyelets let you lace tight over the instep or leave the top pair slack. The low collar is lightly padded, so the back of the ankle stays settled all day.

Platform Sole That Adds Height You Can Walk In The ridged tread holds on pavement and tile alike. You get a few extra centimetres without altering how you move.

Lace-Up Front That Adjusts to Your Foot Metal eyelets keep tension where you set it, so a narrow foot gets a snug hold and a wider one gets room. Easier to live in than most ladies trainers that pull on.

A Shape That Reads Beyond the Gym Squarer and more sculpted than standard gym trainers, so it sits as happily with trousers as with denim.

Smooth Upper and Built-Up Sole That Hold Their Shape The upper is a smooth, lightly structured panelled material with clean stitched seams at the toe and quarter, holding its line rather than creasing across the vamp. Beneath it, the moulded platform runs deep and ridged, with a padded collar and tongue finishing the opening.

Wear with cropped straight-leg denim and a fine knit, socks just visible above the collar.
