Our shoes are made from suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

A TRULY comfortable party shoe designed with extra oomph

Built on our iconic City Sandal last for proven comfort, The Paloma Platform is an evolution of our ultimate event shoe with cross-front leather straps, a secure yet minimal instep strap, and a 1-inch platform.

Getting the right fit

"I am very impressed with the customer service at Margaux and ensuring that I found the right size and width in a very pretty gold platform sandal."

— Jeremy s. (5/5)

Fairly comfortable

"The shoes are nice. They are a bit heavy and are not as comfortable as I would have hoped for dancing at a wedding."

— Marjorie N. (4/5)

Sexy comfortable shoes!

"Love these shoes! I have a wide foot (at least c width) but these shoes fit great. They are so comfy with that nice platform so i can wear a heel and not feel like i’m going to throw my back out! I’ve worn these to 2 events where i stood around for hours and no issues at all."

— Lisa A. (5/5)

Great shoe

"These shoes look great on the foot and are comfortable, though I did wear them as a bridesmaid in a wedding and my feet did get sore after lots of standing for photos etc. I also felt like I slipped down in them a touch even though they do seem like they're the proper size. Overall like them a lot and I'm sure they'd be very comfortable for a normal amount of standing / walking."

— Grace T. (4/5)

Yay for size 3. 5 shoes!

"So happy to have high heels that fit. Thank you!"

— genie c. (5/5)

Gorgeous shoe

"Beautiful heel. Perfect with a dress or wide leg pants. I love that they aren’t super high and are comfortable to walk in."

— Sarah B. (5/5)

Perfect

"I am so happy I found a company that makes a beautiful and comfortable shoe that actually fits me! Thank You I even tried ordering the same one in another color from Nordstrom because I had a credit, but they kept sending me the wrong size, twice."

— Ana P. (5/5)

It’s a beautiful, well made,

"It’s a beautiful, well made, fashionable sandal. However, I found the cushioning in the toe part of the sandal, so small, it felt uncomfortable for my foot. I so badly wanted these to work. I wish the cushioning was either throughout the entire sole of the sandal, or not at all."

— Melissa A. (4/5)

Some of the most comfortable platforms

"I love being able to wear well designed and beautiful high heels with the comfort of a Birkenstock. The shoes fit perfectly, but I have an issue with your carrier who dropped the parcel on a Sunday Morning just behind the entry door to my building. I was lucky I picked the package on time. Otherwise they would have been stolen. Make sure your delivery people deliver to either a secure locker that we have in our building or in front of the apartment door. Thanks"

— Huda M. (5/5)

Love!!!

"So happy with these shoes. They are very comfortable and they look great!"

— Cynthia K. (5/5)
