Black Canvas Patent Leather Platform Sandals

1970s · 1970s · French

High-heeled platform sandals with substantial chunky heels approximately 4-5 inches tall and thick platform soles. The shoes feature wide ankle straps with buckle closures and broad toe straps across the foot. Construction combines matte black canvas with glossy black patent leather trim, creating textural contrast. The platform sole extends significantly forward under the toe area, characteristic of mid-1970s footwear proportions. The heel width matches the platform thickness, providing stability despite the dramatic height. Ankle straps wrap around and secure with metal buckles, while the toe straps create an open sandal silhouette suitable for formal evening occasions during the disco era.
