I love these platforms, in fact the whole range from Iron Fist is excellent, I have three pairs in all, the Jungle Fever Heel show, a Thelma Bootie and these Punk Platform shoes which I bought in Camden one Saturday for £45.

They are purple in colour with a skull and cross bones pattern on them, there are other colours and varieties available but these were the ones that attracted my attention straight away. One of the things I was quite surprised about was that they have proven to be more comfortable to wear than I expected them to be. That is not to say there is not some discomfert and I certainly do not wear them for long periods of time, just nights out. They have an open toe and a platform at the front of the shoe which does help to make them easier to walk in. I have not suffered any rubbing or marks on my feet when wearing them and while I try not to be standing up in them for too long I have bopped the night away in them with out a great deal of soreness the morning after other than a slight rubbing that occurred but to be honest that is probably down to me over doing it rather than the design of the shoe.

As a shoe the purple means they go great with jeans or dark trousers and they certainly attract attention when you wear them. They have a five inch heel so they certainly add some height however due to the thickness of the sole they do not put too much strain on your calf muscles and they are surprisingly comfortable to wear, to be honest I expected more discomfort.

For special nights out these are a great pair of shoes and I love the edgy feel of the whole range, they are well worth checking out.
