Platform sneakers, chunky boots, strappy heels and slides: the shoes that finish an early-2000s outfit. My Y2K shoe wishlist. Some links are affiliate links.

The cropped suede UGG on a 2-inch platform. Peak 2003 off-duty-celebrity, and great with flares or leg warmers.
UGG Classic Ultra Mini Platform Boot
Â
Puma's weird-cool Mostro: suede, a hook-and-loop strap and rubber spikes on the sole. The most 2000s-skater sneaker there is.
Puma Mostro Suede Women's Sneakers
Â
Tan suede platform boots with a chunky block heel. Very 2000s, and they'd look perfect peeking out from under flares.
Jeffrey Campbell Mulholland Platform Boots

The Speedcat with a hidden wedge heel and velcro straps. The 2003 sneaker-wedge trend, done the cute way.

White strappy platform heels with a chunky sole. Very 2002 pop-star, with a mini skirt or low-rise jeans.

A low-profile terrace sneaker with a gum sole, in white with a navy stripe. Easy with baggy jeans or track pants.

Wood-bottom platform clog sandals with a studded black strap. That chunky 2000s summer sandal, back again.

Â
The platform suede slipper with the braided trim that went viral. Cozy enough for home, chunky enough for outside.

Â
Ivory satin platform sandals with a big bow. The dressy, formal pick for a 2000s-prom or going-out look.
Badgley Mischka Yuki Bow Platform Sandals
Â
The new Speedcat in soft sage-green suede with a gum sole. A softer take on the 2000s racing sneaker.

Â
The Palermo on a chunky platform gum sole. All the retro terrace vibes with extra height.
