Why Platform Heels Dominate Stage Performance
The platform sole raises both the heel and the ball of the foot, reducing the effective foot incline regardless of total height. A 15cm platform heel with a 6cm platform puts your foot at only a 9cm incline — more comfortable than many standard fashion heels. This is why platform heels are the standard across pole dance, drag, stage, and nightlife performance.
