Can I buy these shoes from you?

You can buy some of the shoes shown, but not from me. If you want to buy a pair, look to see if there is a link below the shoe. If there is, then click on it, and it will take you to the site where you can purchase them.

Do you know where I can find men's platform shoes?

Unfortunately, no, I don't. I can recommend that you check out Buffalo Boots or John Fluevog, but for men, options are limited if you don't live in a large city and are looking to mail order platform shoes.

Where can I buy platform shoes online?

Ok, I am working on a links page to bring you to sites where you can buy platforms. As for now, try looking in the 90s section. Click below some of the pictures and you will be taken to sites that sell platform shoes.

May I use the information on your page for a research paper?

Absolutely. A handful of people have emailed me and told me that they used information on my site to help write a research paper. That's fine with me, just as long in your works cited page, I get some credit.

Have you written a book? Some of the information and pictures in this site look familiar.

No, I haven't written a book. I suggest you check my list of sources. I used all of those books, common knowledge and observation to make this site.

Do you own all of these platforms?

No, none of the shoes shown at my site are mine. I haven't had the time to take pictures of them yet. Soon, though, very soon.

Do you know where I can find information on making/designing shoes and/or platform shoes?

No, I do not know anything about the practical matters of designing and making shoes. I'll see if I can find any resources for anyone who is interested, but as of now, I don't know much at all.

I have some pictures of platforms. Would you like to see them? How should I send them to you?

I would love to see them! Maybe even add them to my page. If you have the pictures scanned and on your harddrive, go ahead and email me at platform_diva@yahoo.com. I'd like to see any pictures of platform shoes: a picture of your own pair; a picture of a friend's; or a spy snapshot of someone wearing cool platforms on the street. Black and white, color, paintings, design sketches, anything--send them to me. I want to see them if you want to show me. If the pictures you have are not on your harddrive but you are determined to let me see them, either go to some place like kinkos and scan them or email me and we'll see if we can make some kind of arrangement.
