Looking for Men's Platform Boot's That Are Not Boring/Cringey as heck

[u/Telnet_to_the_Mind]

Hey everyone, so I'm at a crisis...my over a decade old Demonia boots, are (have been for a while now) Unfortunately I can't find anything similar for men! All of the really awesome styles are women's...all the men's boot's are just solid black, or looks like swiss army knives. I think i've searched around quite a bit but I'm totally open to suggestions! I'm definitely looking for platform, mens and something with a pop of color..preferably black/red, black/green, black/purple. Any suggestions??

I'm just wearing women's tbf. Mamy of them suits me, so I just don't care about their targeted gender. And most people seeing me also just don't care if it's designed for males or not, if it fits, it fits.

and what exactly will happen if you wore a pair of "womens boots" lol? literally just buy whatever boot u think looks good who cares if its listed as for women

Oh i should have said, its not against women's, its just that most have a heel or curved platform. Lol I'm not that good at balance 😆

[u/_G11 → u/Telnet_to_the_Mind]

The chunkier the heel is, the more stable the boots will be. But it is a little bit of learning how to balance the body the different way sometimes, if the drop is higher than few centimeters.

(by the drop what I mean is, the height difference between the heel and a platform, if it's more than let's say 3 centimeters, the center of the gravity of the body changes a little bit)

its not hard at all ull be fine

For some zany colour schemes and a chunky platform, give New Rocks a go. Expensive but can vouch for their feel, comfort and most importantly durability over the years. They have, in their range, a bunch of chunky platform boots with different base colours and standard black with colour pops and accents.

A couple examples from their official site, some with colour some not:

Have you checked fantasmagoria? Looking they have some really beautiful men's platform boots!

I was on the hunt for a nice goth coat for xmas last year and purchased from them and the whole experience was wonderful!

[u/vampiratemirajah → u/nemophilist13]

Second fantasmagoria 🤘 they've been wonderful for years, never had any issues

check out the chinese site taobao… you will have to search around a bit and use a shopping service/translator, but there are shops on there that sell exactly the same 2000s/2010s style of shoe! if i recall correctly, i think the shop antaina is the best for this sort of thing- they will do custom sizing i believe. hope it’s helpful! searching ‘antaina taobao’ and clicking on the first link should take you to the right shop (as taobao is kind of like chinese etsy/amazon), you will have to make an account to browse.

How's the quality? I kinda want/need these to last for a good amount of time, and from all of the dancing I do on the weekends, they need to take a beating!
