Abstract

The platform shoe with a storage compartment is a shoe comprising a sole with an elevated base, having at least one accessible compartment disposed in the base. Access to the compartment may be made by a variety of methods, including a drawer received by the base, a hinged mechanism whereby a first portion of the base is removably attached to a second fixed portion of the base, a rotating mechanism whereby the compartment within the base is made accessible by rotating the moveable portion of the base, or by mechanism in which the moveable portion of the base is entirely or partially slidably removable from the fixed portion of the base. The platform shoe storage compartment is adaptable to any shoe or boot having an elevated sole.
