Clear Platform Extreme Heel Sandals – 18cm
$145.00
Description
For Those Who Don’t Do Subtle
The Clear Platform Extreme Heel Sandal is not a shoe for every occasion. It is a shoe for a specific kind of occasion — one where you want to be seen from across the room before you’ve said a word. The 18cm total heel height is offset by an 8cm platform, bringing the effective pitch to 10cm — still dramatic, but more wearable than the headline number suggests. The clear PVC upper disappears against the skin, creating the illusion of a bare leg that extends all the way to the floor. The PU inner lining keeps the foot comfortable against the plastic. The non-slip rubber outsole keeps you grounded.
Available in Transparent, EU sizes 34 to 41. Ships carefully packaged to arrive in perfect condition.

Understanding the Height
The 18cm figure is the total heel height measured from the ground to the top of the heel. The 8cm platform raises the forefoot, which reduces the effective pitch angle — the actual incline your foot sits at — to approximately 10cm. This is still an extreme heel and requires practice and confidence to wear. It is not a walking shoe for extended distances. It is a statement shoe for events, performances, editorial shoots, and occasions where impact is the entire point.
| Measurement | Value | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Total heel height | 18cm (approx. 7.1") | Measured from ground to heel top — the headline number |
| Platform height | 8cm (approx. 3.1") | Raises the forefoot, reducing the effective pitch |
| Effective pitch | ~10cm (approx. 3.9") | The actual incline your foot sits at — the wearability number |
Why You Need This
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Clear PVC upper | The transparent material creates a skin-flush illusion — the shoe appears to disappear against the leg, creating an elongated, uninterrupted line from ankle to floor. Works with any outfit colour because it adds no colour of its own. |
| 8cm platform base | Reduces the effective pitch from 18cm to approximately 10cm, making the shoe significantly more wearable than the total height suggests. The platform also adds visual drama from the side profile. |
| PU inner lining | Soft lining against the foot reduces friction and moisture against the PVC upper — important for comfort when wearing a clear plastic shoe. |
| Non-slip rubber outsole | Provides grip on smooth surfaces — essential at this heel height where stability is the priority. |
| EU sizes 34–41 | 8 sizes covering the standard European range for women’s footwear. |

How to Style It
The clear upper means this sandal works with everything — it adds no colour, so it never clashes. The drama comes entirely from the height and the transparency. Pair with a mini dress or skirt to maximise the leg-lengthening effect. Pair with wide-leg trousers for a more unexpected, editorial look where just the platform peeks out at the hem. For performances, shoots, or events where you’ll be standing or moving in a controlled environment, this is the shoe that photographs from every angle.

Care Instructions
- Wipe the clear PVC upper clean with a soft damp cloth after each wear — avoid abrasive cloths which can scratch the transparent surface
- For fingerprints and smudges: buff gently with a dry microfibre cloth — the clear surface shows marks more readily than opaque materials
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing — UV exposure can cause clear PVC to yellow over time
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources — heat can cause PVC to warp or deform
- Do not fold or compress the shoe during storage — store upright or in a box to maintain the shape
- The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp brush to remove dirt from the tread
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizing system do these sandals use?
These sandals are sized in EU sizing, ranging from 34 to 41. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
Are these true to size?
Generally yes. If you have a wider foot, consider sizing up by half a size for a more comfortable fit across the straps.
Is 18cm really wearable?
With the 8cm platform, the effective pitch is approximately 10cm — which is still an extreme heel, but significantly more manageable than 18cm on a stiletto. These sandals are best suited to events, performances, and occasions where you will be standing or moving in a controlled environment rather than walking long distances.
Will the clear PVC yellow over time?
Clear PVC can yellow with prolonged UV exposure. Store away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain the transparency. Wipe clean after each wear to prevent residue build-up which can also affect clarity over time.
Are these suitable for outdoor wear?
The non-slip rubber outsole provides grip on smooth surfaces. These sandals are best suited to indoor events and controlled environments. Avoid uneven terrain, wet surfaces, and extended outdoor walking at this heel height.
