The £59.99 M&S Platforms That Look Exactly Like The Designer Pair Everyone’s Wearing

If you can't contemplate the idea of a heel in January, we do understand. If, on the other hand, you're looking for something to give you a (literal and emotional) boost during this month, why not try a pair of platforms? Sturdier than a stiletto, comfier than a kitten, the platform is the cool-girl's choice. Take Jenna Ortega, who wore them on repeat during last year's promo tour for Wednesday. The actor wore a series of stunningly high platforms that gave her goth-girl outfits a serious sense of glam. Hers were Gucci, but the other brand who's making a name for itself when it comes to fashion editor-approved platforms is Nodaleto.

Emerging in 2019, Nodaleto is the go-to brand when it comes to fun footwear. Verified by Gen Z, it's seen the likes of Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo (who owns several pairs) rocking its nostalgic platforms, which have supersized heels and the kind of preppy-with-a-twist buckles that wouldn't look out of place on Cher Horowitz. Having said that, its fan club definitely belongs in 2023 (Milly Alcock, one break-out star from House of the Dragon, is the face of its latest campaign).

But guess what? M&S has an alternative that gives off similar vibes so you can achieve the same look without breaking bank. Hear that? It's time to get the '90s baby aesthetic, but on a budget. The M&S version has a chunky heel that will put a spring in your step this January, as well as a glossy finish that is guaranteed to earn brownie points at the office. And at £59.99 - it's a fraction of the price you'll pay for most designer takes on the platform. Keep scrolling to shop these cult shoes on the high street.
