3. Flatforms

Comfort is something that designers have been embracing in the last couple of years (think: birkenstocks and sneakers), and this year is no exception. Aside from platforms, there’s different type of lower heel that follows the same principles — the flatforms. You get to enjoy more elevation without the pain.
