Remember the infamous Jeffrey Campbell Litas? The polarizing platform heeled boots were all the rage in the 2010s, and now a renaissance of sorts is upon us. Some might attribute the trend of taller statement boots to our (however slow) recovery from a period of social and economic hardships — after a year and a half (and counting) of the pandemic, everyone is ready to go higher, bigger and brighter when it comes to footwear, and fashion in general.

The return of ’90s/2000s fashion is bringing with it the iconic platform boot, taking inspiration from The Spice Girls, Bratz Dolls and other pop culture fixtures of that era. Most recently, a street style shot of Olivia Rodrigo in a pair of red patent Naked Wolfe platform boots took over the interwebs, confirming the resurgence of the trend.
