The only shoes that stylize are heels?
The only shoes that stylize are heels?
If you think like this, it is because you have not seen what the new shoes of the season are like. It is true that a good high heel always helps to raise a few inches and that our legs look much prettier with them, but they are not the only ones with such super powers. Take note of the three classes of completely FLAT shoes that will make your legs longer without pain .

Have you ever thought that the flattest shoe par excellence (ballerinas) could do your legs a favor? Neither do we, but later we discovered that there is a type of ballerinas that do: those with a sharp V-shaped tip . This structure gives the optical effect of "continuation of the leg", especially when it is in raw colors such as nude , for a "second skin" effect.

I said, if you go to some dancers, that are in neutral and very light colors like nude .

But no, we couldn't resist the new patterns on our accessories. Animal print is becoming so popular that now not only the leopard reigns, but also the python and the zebra (like these). Don't worry, they still do the same "leg lengthening" effect. Promised.

The star fabric of skirts and blazers also becomes popular in our shoes, through the 'V' toe ballerinas we are looking for.

Let's face it, it took us a while to see them pretty. But, the truth is that this type of sneakers with maxi platform are a trend and they also help to add a few inches to your legs. Maybe these Louis Vuittons are too much, but we have a somewhat more subtle (and low cost ) selection for you to try the effect yourself.

They must be white or have fragments in this color but, above all, make sure they have a platform and that they are large-looking, like these.

Another feature that makes them unique are the color panels that we see on them. The platform shoes of the season are more authentic this way.

Also the most relaxed light blue is one of the great claims in seasonal sports. Get a couple of them, but always with a platform.

The classic Dr. Marteens are the biker boots you need for the coming months. The width of its sole achieves the effect we are looking for: lengthening our legs without wearing a single centimeter of heel (or pain).

They are not Dr. Marteens, but they are practically identical. These are the seasonal ankle boots that will make your legs longer and that you can combine with anything.

Although it may seem that black at the ankle shortens the foot, we gain height with the centimeters of the sole, which are always a plus .

Okay, it's true, there is nothing that stylizes more than a good pair of heels. And while we may have been able to find that pair of heels that don't hurt a bit, nothing will NEVER be more comfortable than flats. Therefore, we have found which three types of flats make our legs longer and prettier without the need for heels. We tell you what they are and how to wear them in your day to day.
Flat shoes that make us taller
Along with the esparto platforms, mules and high-heeled shoes, these three types are those comfortable shoes that we always have in our closet. In this case, we are talking about:
- Dancers
- Sneakers
- Ankle boots
In the case of the last two options, what matters is that they have a considerable platform . The extra width that adorns our shoes is the favorite alternative to a good pair of heels. In addition, they are two types of shoes that we add to the list of garments and accessories that take 10 years off the hook, due to their youthful quality .
Platform shoes
The shoes dad or platform shoes and exaggerated volumes s are trend. We are aware of how much it has cost us to love them, but they have managed to pass into the category of "shoes that we did not like until we saw them on". They meet the characteristics of a pair of sneakers to use, with which you can wear them with as many looks as you want.
V-shaped toe ballerinas
But … what do ballerinas have to have to make our legs instantly longer ? It seems complicated, right? But it is not impossible, since the new flat dancers of all life come with a 'V' shape at the end, that is, in the shape of a peak . This gives the feeling of continuity to the foot and therefore adds a few inches of extra length.
With this in mind, you are ready to show off some amazing legs without going through the pain of a high heel .
