Of course there was a risk of taking a tumble, but it hardly mattered in the late '90s: your younger self needed a pair of extreme platforms, much like the ones the Spice Girls wore, so you could properly "hai si ja, hold tight" with all your BFFs. A ton may have changed since then — Posh is now a major fashion designer, the band's reuniting as a trio (what?!) — but our love for a height-boosting shoe? That still lives on. Which is perfect, since those superhigh designs are making a comeback.
Scroll through to see and shop a few pairs of platform sneakers, loafers, and lace-up booties that'll add a little spice to any outfit. Then, check out some style lessons you can learn from Victoria Beckham.
