Last year saw the rise of plenty of “ugly” shoe styles, including chunky sneakers, the flip-flops, and orthopedic sandals, but now another one is entering the fashion scene. Get ready for the return of platform shoes, everyone.

Though platform shoes were notably popular in the ’00s, they have since been forgotten for sleeker, single-sole styles. Recently, though, it occurred to me that they are making a comeback in a range of styles.

The one trait each of them shares, though, is the signature platform that hasn’t been popular in the last decade. Scroll on to see how fashion girls are wearing the controversial trend.
