'I'm 5'3 and these "short girl" sneakers are so good, I'm buying them in every colour.'

I love a 'cool girl' pair of sneakers just as much as the next millennial, but there's one tiny problem that stops me from wearing them.

Tiny being the operative word. Because at 162cm tall (also known as 5'3), most 'it' sneakers make me feel small and look stumpy.

Do I have visual evidence? No; I've seen many a short woman rock Onitsuka Tigers, Puma Speedcats, and Adidas Sambas and SL 72s. This is a conclusion drawn purely on feels.

Watch: According to a fashion expert, you need to start building your outfits from the shoes, up. Post continues below.

I already feel low to the ground and flat-footed 98 per cent of the time, and I discovered wearing the thin-soled sneakers of the moment only dialled that feeling up.

Now, I'm not presuming to speak on behalf of all short women, but personally, I find thin-soled sneakers unflattering and uncomfortable to walk in. Give me a platform slide or a 2cm kitten heel, and watch me stomp out of the train station like I'm on a runway.

To cure my sneaker FOMO, I went searching for a pair of shoes that looked like the Adidas sneakers everyone else was wearing, but with a platform sole for the lift I desire.

Enter, Adidas' 'Bold' sneakers.

I used to be a white sneaker-only kind of woman, mostly because you could find so many white platform sneaker options on the market.

Side note, if I were to return to white sneakers, the Puma Cali Court Leather Sneakers are the most comfortable white platform sneakers I've found.

But I won't be, because these Adidas cream platform sneakers have changed everything.

As per my photo evidence, I've worn them constantly since I bought them nearly two years ago. Now I've gotten the cost-per-wear on my platform sneakers down to -$56, it's time to buy a second pair.

From the office to the Dolomites, these sneakers never fail me. Image: Supplied.

Adidas does 'Bold' versions of their Gazelle and Court sneaker styles, and they come in just as many sneaker colourways as the traditional Adidas styles, just with a platform made of three soles.

The Adidas Gazelle Bold is my personal favourite style; they have a more tapered shape and slim tongue, while the Court Bold sneakers are more of a classic skater sneaker style reminiscent of what you wore in high school.

I usually buy mine from The Iconic or ASOS, but you'll also find Adidas Bold styles on Adidas.com.au, JD Sports, Platypus and just about anywhere else you buy your sneakers. Be warned, colours sell out pretty fast but they often come in and out of stock as new colour combinations drop — my trick is to save them in your The Iconic wishlist, Carted or favourite shopping app so you can keep track of when they're on sale.

Keep scrolling for my edit of the best short girl Adidas sneakers to shop right now. Spoiler: Sneakers in shades of brown, blue and pink are all I'm thinking about at the moment.

Happy shopping!
