Pair of ladies 1970s orange platform heels. The platform heel was all the rage in the 1970s worn by both men and women from glam rockers such as David Bowie to everyday folk. The heel was made from materials such as cork, leather or covered in straw. On this pair the brand name has worn away. The upper is a bright orange leather with black underneath and the heel is made of a rubber material which is starting to degrade. Pâr o sandalau platfform oren o’r 1970au i ferched. Roedd sodlau platfform yn eu hanterth yn y 1970au, a byddai dynion a merched yn eu gwisgo – o sêr y byd roc megis David Bowie i bobl ar lawr gwlad. Defnyddiwyd deunyddiau megis corc a lledr i wneud y sodlau neu byddai gorchudd gwellt arnynt. Ar y pâr yma, mae enw’r brand wedi diflannu. Mae’r darn uchaf mewn lledr oren llachar gyda du o dan hyn, a gwnaethpwyd y sodlau o rwber, sy’n dechrau dirywio.
