A platform boot is a boot built on a thick raised sole, so you get height, presence and a little extra comfort standing all day. Ours come in two festival styles, glitter platform boots and rhinestone boots, made to finish a rave or festival look. Each pair is handmade to order in Stockholm.
Two styles cover it: the Ruby glitter platform boot and the Serafia rhinestone boot, each in a couple of colours. Here they are.
Platform boots do real work at a festival. The height helps you see the stage over a crowd, the thick sole keeps your feet off hot, rough or muddy ground, and a closed toe protects you when the floor gets packed. They also read bold in photos and pair with almost any rave outfit, from a rhinestone bodysuit to a feather skirt. Break them in before the event and add cushioned insoles for a long day, a tip from our festival essentials checklist. Every pair is handmade to order in our Stockholm studio, so the glitter and stonework hold up to a full weekend on your feet.
We ship worldwide with DHL Express, and shipping is free within Sweden. EU orders have a 14-day return window, and international orders are covered by store credit or an exchange if something is not right. Because every pair is handmade to order, allow a little production time before your event. You are also welcome at our store at Karlavägen 73 in Stockholm, or email order@borninstockholm.se with any question before you buy.
Check the size guide on each product page before ordering, since boots vary more than clothing. If you plan to wear thicker socks or want a little room for long days on your feet, many people size up half a size. Message the team if you are unsure of your fit.
They can be, with a little prep. Break them in at home for a few short wears first, and add a cushioned insole for all-day standing and dancing. The thick sole actually helps by keeping your feet off hard ground, and a closed toe protects you in a crowd.
Almost anything festival. Pair glitter platform boots with a rhinestone bodysuit and a feather skirt, or with shorts and a mesh top for a rave. Rhinestone boots suit a matching sparkly outfit where the shoes are part of the show. Bare legs or fishnets both work.
Wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let them air dry, rather than soaking them. For glitter, dab gently so you do not lift the finish, and for rhinestones, check no stones are loose before and after wear. Store them upright and away from heat.
