It seems to me that the platform trend is only getting stronger. Somehow it seems to have hit Germany only this year. You could always move here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-silly-question-re-shoe-alterations#post-368885 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 05:16:55 +0000 rae 368885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would bet it can be done, but best to ask. Although I can't really picture platforms going out of style that soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-silly-question-re-shoe-alterations#post-368865 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 03:42:42 +0000 rosee 368865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Find a good cobbler in your area and ask if he /she can do it -- better to get the info from the source who will be doing the work rather than speculative theory. I can picture it being done, though likely very costly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-silly-question-re-shoe-alterations#post-368839 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 02:41:04 +0000 taylor 368839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm, good question...I know that I have actually ADDED a platform to a pair of boots once, he also had to add to the heel as well...removing one may throw the heel and balance off, but I bet it could be done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-silly-question-re-shoe-alterations#post-368837 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 02:38:49 +0000 Beth 368837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're probably right. </p> <p>The question relates to a pair of shoes I'm considering that would need to be stylish for some years to come to justify the price:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-silly-question-re-shoe-alterations#post-368817 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 02:16:05 +0000 modgrl 368817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're pushing it - you'd be better off buying the right shoes without the platform. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-silly-question-re-shoe-alterations#post-368784 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 01:47:12 +0000 Beth 368784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's say I bought a pair of high heels with a small platform. After platforms go out of style, could a good cobbler remove the platform and shorten the heel to match? Essentially returning them to a basic pump style? </p>
