Making my Own PLATFORM SHOES: Making a Blue Velvet Outfit with Platforms (because I want to be tall) 

You might want to add a rubber bottom so that you don't wear away the bottoms of those amazing shoes!

For the price of all that E6000 you could have got the contact cement shoemakers use.

That was a lot of hard work...but worth it. The platform shoes turned out so beautiful👌👌👌

I do this too!! I'm a lady's USA size 4 , since most women's begin at a 6 or 6.5 that makes finding feminine adult shoes nearly impossible. Happy to see this is becoming more common. Also, I have used YOGA BLOCKS! From free box or from thrift stores to make my platform soles :) I have made mini platforms for my toddler. As well :D

Bright white, and creamy lace mermaid cut skirt (high cut in front long in back ) would look cute too. With long cloves White on top cream on bottoms of gloves

too cute... lovec the playmat recycle for the soles.... great job.........

Hello Sierra, what an amazing and creative idea! Never seen anyone that tried to make his or her own platform shoes! Wow, really terrific result, you can be very proud! Thanks so much for the inspiration and have a wonderful week, all the best, Erika

What a unique approach!! They look beautiful 🌈 👠

These are so stunning its unbelievable

Also another tip: acetone works well as well as using one of those long butter spreader knife things to separate the heel from the sole without damage from heat gun or prolonged irritation. I have used black silicone to clean up the edges on some of my homemade platforms.

Nice work! Heels are removed by placing the shoe in a vice (protect the grip surface) and using a pry bar. You should be able to find a small one in any hardware store, or possibly a novelty store. These also turned out well. It's clear that craftsmanship is important to you, it's not just about aesthetics.

I can’t get over the finished look😍 Amazing outfit and shoes!

Oh my goodness! They look awesome!😍

I woke up early in the morning to this video on my feed. Now I have to subscribe ❤

Wow you did an AMAZING JOB!!! 🔥

yes! the shoes completed the outfit 😍💙

Ahhh, perfect upcycling project!

To avoid the quarter inch edge on the platform, I would recommend shaving them down more before gluing them to the shoe; you can use the original sole as a pattern once you have the curve for the heel carved into them! Otherwise it would just be some trial and error to get them to the right shape and then you're good to glue. You could also place a piece of paper on the sole and trace the outline of where the sole should go onto that.

This is awesome, Sierra!

Very creative!!😁 The heels make this outfit pop!!!

wow!! Really you have made shoes for yourself, unbelievable!! you are just amazing!! brilliant!!

Waw so gorgeous shoe 😍

nice!

Great channel my friend☺️👍🤗

I'll just keep going to the stores 🛒 and on-line. No thank Sierra.. I'm good 👍

Wow! I'm so impressed. I need to increase the height of my left shoe cuz of a short leg. You are so inspirational. Was the foam slippery on the bottom? Years ago I glued smooth craft foam to the sole of a left shoe. When I was out, it rained and the shoe became so slippery, especially when I stepped on a painted parking lot stripe. I was afraid I'd fall.

I would’ve sunk shoe into the foam. Maybe use the heat gun the make the indentation that way you can’t see the ooopsies

Very cool 😎 chica; not only very creative but what a way to recycle ♻️ 🌍 old clothing 👍

Woow love yuo ❤❤❤

🔥 🔥 🔥

Cute

God you’re so clever 😭

troppo simpatica!😄🤩💪

Amazing video! However, that mask may help with dust particles, which is also super important, but for toxic fumes it is not enough😅

if you do this again get a thicker foam

Question my platform are to high can i get them shorten do you think at my boot makes

Hey! I love these so much and want to make some but I want them to last a while. How have these done durability-wise?

Any thoughts on alternative material for the foam? I'm bigger and like terrified that the foam will either collapse or make me roll my ankle during the event I want to make shoes like this for

Ohhhh super cool! How'd they hold up overtime???

sorry, but, if it were me I would have left the shoe as is and instead made the rainbow foam heel and then cut a shape the shape of the heels from top to bottom to fit the original heel of the shoe into the rainbow foam heel part with glue all in side the hole in there and on the bottom of the shoe al;so I would have bought a black bottom shoe piece so the heel could last longer because I see 2 issues with this #1 the shoe may be bouncy and foam like now but just wait till you walk outside for a bit soon its gonna be deflated loppsided wobbly and uncomfortable but if the heel had been left on the shoe and just put into the foam heel then your foot and the heel of your foot would be adding all the weight onto the heel that was already there instead just on the foam alone allowing the foam heel to last way way longer and putting the original heel into the foam heel not only gives support to the foam heel to last longer and to your whole foot but also in doing it that way it would also hide the original heel inside the rainbow foam block you know? and #2 without that black bottom rubber piece the bottom foam is surly gonna were out sooner rather than later and all that gravel grinding the shoe down I mean water alone does this to rocks over time and where literally walking on gravel and wet gravel at that so the bottom shoe being just foam alone and just flimsy foam at that is now skidding across the roads and streets and sidewalks which means everywhere you walk is just gonna mangle the bottom of that foam by the end of the day that's why we have those black hard rubber bottoms... but yeah those are the biggest issues I see and hey I see how creative you are and it's great that you gave it a shot I'm not knocking your efforts I just am pointing out the possible flaws here sooo sorry but it is what it is either way great look I love love love the rainbow idea for the heel its absolutely a cool look and I would love to own a pair of shoes like that so great job on the styling part!

I came here bc my mom said it was a "bad idea" and I could "break my neck". Ha! I'ma 'bout to prove her wrong.

Why didn`t you sand the sides? The shoes wouldn`t look so cheap if you had finished them the right way.

Lord have mercy 🤦‍♀️. Well..I guess so..bc besides having to go online.. it does seem like to me It's getting to the point of having to make your own shoes..so you can have exactly what you want Bless your ♥

Colorido y peligroso
