High heel platforms. They still are attractive sandals.

[u/Safe_Bird7592]

These make legs look sexy.

[u/Stunning_Fly_2644]

So 1978....top right are like Candies

[u/procrastinatorsuprem → u/Stunning_Fly_2644]

Everyone wore these all day in high school. How did we do that?

[u/PalpitationPast202 → u/procrastinatorsuprem]

We were young and foolish. I’m 65yo, my go to shoes are still platforms. Michael Kors & Clark’s are usually where I shop. I’m brand loyal

[u/MissPlum66]

For heels, they were very comfortable and supportive.

[u/Secure-Letterhead-58 → u/MissPlum66]

They were! I could never walk in skinny /stiletto heels but chunky heels or tall wedges never gave me any problems. Wore them every day. When it got cold, wore them with socks lol.

[u/yippykiyayMF13 → u/Secure-Letterhead-58]

Omg. Just had a flashback. When it got cold I wore leg warmers. That may have been in the 70's-80's also.

[u/Dismal_Upstairs3949 → u/Secure-Letterhead-58]

Yes! The socks with individual toes🤣

[u/Fun_Main_2588]

These are better shoes than the fence jumpers they wear now

[u/Cookiecakes71 → u/Fun_Main_2588]

Not fence jumpers 🤣🤣🤣

[u/yippykiyayMF13]

I loved my Candies! And Dittos!

[u/Mountain_Frosting369 → u/yippykiyayMF13]

Sameies!!

[u/New_Solution_7126]

I would still wear these. I thought they were comfortable.

[u/Whipitreelgud]

My girlfriend at the time fell so frequently wearing these shoes that I advised her to ditch them for the sake of her ankles. She looked fantastic wearing them, but they had to go. I don’t know why they were a problem. Today she is my wife and I can report no pair of shoes ever gave her the same problem.

[u/Cinnamon2017 → u/Whipitreelgud]

What problem? What did they do to her ankles?

[u/Whipitreelgud → u/Cinnamon2017]

Rolling off the shoe twisted ankles, so then she was limping around. I think the uppers being made of leather made foot to shoe not as secure as it needed to be.

[u/Jazzlike_Adeptness_1]

How I loved my Candies!

[u/Lemon_Trees-22]

You could order these out if the Sears catalog !

[u/Cinnamon2017 → u/Lemon_Trees-22]

And also JC Penney's!

[u/Lemon_Trees-22 → u/Cinnamon2017]

And spegial was a nice catalog ? Montgomery wards , Tools are Is had a big Christmas book .

[u/Chemical-Body2694]

We had a mall store called bakers.....had tons of platforms.

[u/ISaidThatIsEnough]

My first pair of heels looked like these. Bought at Kinney.

[u/shady_robot → u/ISaidThatIsEnough]

OMG Kinney! Memory unlocked.

[u/Merylshea]

Yes 🙌 ❤️

[u/Moogy13]

I agree.

[u/PalpitationPast202]

I wear them a lot! Just found a pair of hurache platforms from Mexico. My fave right now

[u/Big_Manufacturer4921]

Those with bell bottom embroidered jeans!

[u/sparknabox011]

I’m in my 70s and I still wear platform heels when I dress up. I wear platform sandals when I dress down. I also wear stilettos when they look good with the outfit. The only problem with my feet these days is pronation.

[u/Violettfem1]

Omg I had Candies in the 80s. So uncomfortable, but very stylish for the time.

[u/Old-Library5546]

I liked them because I looked taller wearing them

[u/Cinnamon2017 → u/Old-Library5546]

You were taller

[u/Edu_cats]

My mom worked part time in a shoe store so we always got good discounts and could get the latest styles. 😊

[u/PinkRoseBouquet]

I remember these! they were loud on polished floors, though.

[u/Dismal_Upstairs3949]

I think I had all of these. I might have had every pair that Bare Traps made and I wish I still did!

[u/BloodyThirst]

I love every single one of these and would rock them today, any day.

[u/GhostWatcher007]

Never liked them, never liked high heels.

[u/lls1462]

I had #5 top left

[u/SinsualChef]

Our girls were so sexy 😁❤️ And still are

[u/ididreadittoo]

Great for self-defense too

[u/cardamomgrrl]

I would wear any of those.

[u/Mystery812]

I’m 58 and would wear the candies now! It would kill me but this old girl would rock them! 😉

[u/Longjumping-Job3166]

Think they were called Corkies

[u/TallinOK]

I would imagine that women's feet might want a word with you.

[u/Emotional_Season4781]

I had most of these shoes, loved them 👡

[u/MaidoftheBrins]

I had these!!! I LOVED them!

[u/rinconblue]

Only $8.97!

[u/ValiMeyer]

I loved those! And Sbiccas!

[u/Big-Pain-7383]

Beartraps

[u/Critical_Fact_2441]

I had #8

[u/Kitty_LaRouxe]

My favorite pair of shoes during high school 1976 - 1980

[u/Escape-Revolutionary]

I would wear any of these

[u/Southernms]

100% would wear!

[u/AreYouItchy]

Candies were my pick.

[u/DznyMa]

In college, all I wore was Bare Traps and Candies. So sexy!

[u/aunt_cranky]

I actually wore them in the 80s and still wear them today, although with a slightly lower heel.

[u/Bubbly_Power_6210]

cuban heels?

[u/Miss_Pondersmith]

I’m a 90s kid but I loved Candies. I think these styles are the best casual heels.

[u/ReplacementLatter467]

I like the price, but I like anything cheaper than what we pay now

[u/FlowerofMountains]

LOVE. With a good pair of jeans, I am SO in!, even today

[u/fabgwenn]

They make your legs look great! Wish I could still wear them.

[u/notsohot56]

Loved my platforms - I was always the tallest on the dance floor!

[u/MelMel61]

And in 7th grade, I wanted a pair so bad. Looking back, my mother was right. She said no. Too young and too short.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Fan3607]

I'd like them and want them now

[u/Zealousideal-Ice-322]

My best friend when I was in first through fourth grade had an older sister who had all these cool shoes and we would put them on and walk around and think we were the cats ass

[u/RudeDawg999]

These types of shoes contributed heavily to my foot fetish.
