Subject: Our state has a rule that heels worm on stage can not have more than a 1 inch platform. I am curious if other states follow this rule as well, if the rule came from Robin and if this is also the rule at Miss America? (I understand people have strong feeling as to whether these look good or not, hoping not to start a thread on whether they are attractive, just trying to get the facts of the rules and see what other states are experiencing.)

Subject Author Date I have heard of multiple states that have this rule. (NT) No name (NoHost/12.233.34.186) 16:16:59 04/20/26 Mon I prefer to wear platforms because of my flat feet (have to wear shorter heels otherwise for comfort) but 1 inch or under is perfect. Any more and it starts to look gaudy. Even if its clear or nude, its still obviously not your foot lol (NT) No name (NoHost/172.56.205.136) 21:51:14 04/20/26 Mon Its a rule at Miss America, so it was implemented in many states (NT) No name (108-239-242-250.lightspeed.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net/108.239.242.250) 09:41:36 04/21/26 Tue Am SO happy they banned platforms. The women looked ridiculous and like strippers. I never understood why you'd spend a few thousand on a gown and then wear hooker shoes with it. Back when they allowed platform stilettos with swimsuits, the only thing missing was the pole in the middle of the stage. (NT) No name (NoHost/159.100.209.52) 09:57:10 04/21/26 Tue Agree. A small platform is fine because it's easier to walk in a higher heel but yes they look horrible. (NT) -- No name, 11:49:33 04/21/26 Tue (23.29.80.195.bbc.net/23.29.80.195) Yeah, nothing more empowering than telling women what they can wear. (NT) -- No name, 22:46:14 04/21/26 Tue (ip70-187-0-207.om.om.cox.net/70.187.0.207) And how "empowering" is it to have a program that promotes female role models, as they walk around dressed like Vegas strippers? Ever heard of the term brand image? (NT) -- No name, 16:23:56 04/22/26 Wed (NoHost/159.100.209.52) So you care more about a business's image than its mission - got it. Role models can wear platform heels. Just because YOU think they're tacky doesn't mean the rest of pageantry does. Opinions are just that, and they shouldn't be made into rules (NT) -- No name, 17:42:44 04/22/26 Wed (NoHost/172.59.188.184) bwhahahaha. You are ridiculous. If you don't see that image and mission are things that should align, you aren't worth any more effort to argue with. (NT) -- No name, 09:48:03 04/23/26 Thu (NoHost/159.100.209.52)
