Platform Peep Toes - Cheap to $teep

Platform peep toes have been spotted on the feet of the hottest celebrities and style icons such as Carmen Electra, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Ritchie and many more. Why are platform peep toes so hot? The platform sole gives you height as well as comfort, and the retro peep toe look adds a 1940's flare while showing off your pedicure.

Platform peep toe shoes were the hottest shoe to have for spring/summer and it's continuing its reign in fall. Simply pair them with thick tights or wool socks for a chic and cozy look! Here are our platform peep toe picks, from cheap to $teep:
