What we love: No break-in required; trendy buckle detail
What could improve: Slightly visually heavy
“At just five feet tall, I depend on platform heels when I’m craving a little bit of height. But, I also live in New York City, so I need shoes that are made for walking, and this pair of black platforms from Naot is my go-to,” says Glamour contributor Nina Derwin. “Surprisingly, I didn’t have to break them in at all, and the soft footbed makes me forget I’m wearing nearly three-inch heels. Plus, the strappy, slip-on style means I get to show off my summer pedicures. I love that I can wear them with jeans, trousers, skirts, and dresses, and they’re not super-dressy but not sneaker-casual either, which is all to say, they’re as versatile as they are comfy.” Plus, they have kind of a boho thing going on, meaning they’re perfect for 2025.
