The season’s hottest chunky monkeys. Platform boots so thick, you want to eat them with a spoon.

A) Ruby red

“These soles are pretty outlandish with the divided platform colours, and it’s great that they’re vegan too.” Farfetch.com, $808

B) Classy and elevated

“There’s something very clean, modern and elegant about this design. This is a fabulous colour that really speaks to this season. The contrast between the colours is so dramatic.” brothervellies.com, $725

C) Moon walking

“These are just so fun and playful and great for any time of year. They add a great pop to any outfit.” Lintervalleshoes.com, $248

D) Icy patent

“There’s a combination of sensibilities here that I really like with the wooden sole and ivory shoe.” Nordstrom.ca, $259.95

E) Mile high

“These are having about as much fun as a Chelsea boot can have; I love this lighter tone.” Ssense.com, $1,650

F) Lace-up classic

“The pebbled leather is really nice, and these are not as high as some other platforms we’ve seen.” Maguireshoes.com, $320
