Women’s Trainers with Platform

Platform trainers from your favourite brands

Take a peek at our range of platform trainers on Zalando, and there's a good chance you'll find something special from one of the clothing brands you love most. From classic street wear to designer sneakers, and trainers for clubbing or fitness, here's the place to get them.

As the name suggests, these trainers all have heavily bolstered heels in common. This gives a great bouncy effect, which is why they became so popular with all-night ravers back in the 1990s. Needless to say, they're extremely comfortable, and some brands have additional insole padding too.

Styles are numerous. You can go for a classic low profile sneaker with a platform sole, a modern, more angular running shoe type, or a high-top basketball inspired design. The vast choice of colours makes it really easy to match yours to the clothes you already have.

Choose the casual platform sneakers you want

If you're looking for casual platform sneakers, the choice we offer is virtually endless. You'll discover hundreds of models from dozens of brands, running the gamut from hard core athletic manufacturers to longstanding street fashion stalwarts. Plus, some of the most sought-after haute couture design houses across the world.

Materials are just as varied. You can have your trainers with a wide selection of uppers. Some are plain canvas, while others are made from advanced synthetic compounds derived from research into creating high-performance sports shoes. Leather, suede and faux leather also feature prominently.

You can choose from a variety of colours and designs. There are classic monochrome trainers, in blues and greens, as well as the more traditional black and white. From there, you can move to bold patterns and motifs, going as far as designer trainers embossed with rhinestones.

Trainers for your fitness routine

On the other side of the spectrum are platform trainers designed for working out in. There are indoor models for gym work, and outdoor versions for running or hiking. These don't have as exaggerated soles as the casual shoes, but they are still thicker than usual for extra comfort.

Other trainers are made for specific sports. You can get court shoes for tennis or squash, as well as for sports like basketball. These have cold padding on the inside, to supplement to athletic support that the platform sole provides. Many of the running shoe styles have mesh cut-outs to enhance their breathability.

If you want to go all out, get yourself a pair of some really over-the-top platform trainers, the original '90s models with outrageous 4-inch heels. They're just as eye-catching as they ever were, and huge fun to wear.
