A pair of Flatform shoes is a must have this season and will be for the foreseeable future. You should jump on board now and be a trendsetter rather than a follower. These are the perfect solution for a summer shoe because you will get the height of a platform shoe but the comfort of a flat. The shape of a flatform allows you comfort for hours on end so you can enjoy all of your summer activities without being in pain. A flatform is great also because they tend to be very stylish, unlike a comfortable flip flop type sandal which many of us gravitate to when we know we will be on our feet for a while and do not want to wear a closed toe shoe like a sneaker.
Tory Burch Revas flat shoes are probably the most well known and comfortable shoe made by Tory but I personally am a fan of her other less known shoes that fewer women are wearing. My favorite summer shoes from Tory Burch have to be the Contrast Canvas Wedge Espadrilles. These all canvas shoes with a decorative woven jute straw platform base come in two different color combinations. There is a black and white as well as a navy and olive combo. At first I was immediately drawn to the black and white shoes but the more I keep going back to look I am liking the navy shoes more. I love the criss cross straps at the toe area and the lace up tie uppers. You can not go wrong with either of these colors, in fact it may be best to buy both since you will get a lot of wear from them. The openness of the shoes, the canvas material, as well as the great flatform shape make these the perfect shoe to wear for all occasions.

Elizabeth and James Bounce 2 Band Platform Sandals are another great pair of flatform summer sandals. These sandals are a two strap slide on sandal which I love because it makes them so easy to put on and take off. There are two color combinations for theses shoes. The first is a natural with contrasting light brown croc embossed leather. The front thin strap is the leather and the wide strap is a woven raffia with the leather as a trim. The woven raffia also is wrapped around the base of the platform. The other color combination is a black raffia and black croc embossed leather. A black sandal is a must have but for this styling and look I much prefer the natural combo.

Cork is a great material for shoes because it is shock absorbent. The Michael Kors MK16212 are a basic cork based neutral colored sandal with some great design elements to it like criss cross straps, a toe loop, and wrap around ankle strap. The great shade of beige makes these sandal a shoe that will go with so many different items of clothes. You can wear a head to toe neutral look or use these shoes as an accent that will not take away from colors or patterns that you are wearing. In addition tothe cork base, these shoes are a very flat flatform shoe so they are going to be super comfortable to wear on hours on end.
Flatforms are going to be a style of shoes that we well see for a long time to come. Since they are a new trend that are still a bit harder to find but don’t get discouraged there are plenty of them out there. Also be aware that many designers are calling their platform shoes flatforms even though they have a wedge shape to them, this is fine, as long as the incline is not too much.
