Product description Perky Ink Platform
The new collection also brings new shapes. In addition to the traditional espadrilles, also known as alpargatas, you now have the option to try a modified version. It is unique due to its lightweight sole and different form.
The lightness of the shoe and its ability to perfectly adapt to your foot make these South American Perky espadrilles a timeless piece that simply must not be missing from your wardrobe. Just a small warning, once you put them on, you won't want to take them off.
Perky Ink Platform is a stylish platform shoe that combines a minimalist, ink-dark look with a modern silhouette. Thanks to the raised sole, the shoe looks more striking than classic slip-ons, adding a trendy touch to the outfit and visually elongating the figure. Ink Platform is great for customers who want everyday comfort but also seek a model that will become the dominant element of the entire look. The dark "ink" shade is versatile and easy to combine - it suits jeans, wide pants, dresses, and skirts, whether you're going to the city, work, or a weekend brunch. The overall impression is clean, contemporary, and slightly "urban," so the shoes fit well into a capsule wardrobe as well as more daring streetwear combinations.
Use
Perky Ink Platform is ideal for everyday wear in dry weather – for the city, errands, school, office with a casual dress code, and travel. The platform is also useful when you want a more stable step and a slightly higher stance without heels. For the best comfort, I recommend airing the shoes regularly and alternating them with another pair to allow time to dry. If they get dirty, choose gentle cleaning: a soft brush or damp cloth, without scrubbing or harsh chemicals. Avoid machine washing and long soaking – the platform sole and upper material will maintain their shape and appearance longer. If the shoes get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources (radiator, hairdryer), which can deform the materials.
Composition
Perky Ink Platform shoes consist of the upper part, inner part (lining), insole, and platform sole. The combination of these layers influences comfort, breathability, and walking stability. The exact material composition may vary depending on the specific variant or production series, so the most reliable information is always found in the product parameters on the e-shop and on the label inside the shoes. If you want to maintain maximum comfort for all-day wear, you can add a thin insole; however, it's important to keep the inside of the shoes dry and clean. When maintaining, always prefer gentle methods and local cleaning, which is most considerate of the materials and helps preserve the color and overall surface structure.
Material:
- upper - cotton
- lining - cotton
- sole - EVA and jute
Packaging
Perky Ink Platform is delivered in protective packaging, which protects the shoes during transport from scuffs and dirt. I recommend trying the shoes on a clean floor at home after delivery to make size exchange as easy as possible. For storage, a dry and ventilated place away from direct sunlight, which can affect the saturation of the dark shade over time, is ideal. If you want the shoes to maintain their shape, fill them with paper or use shoe trees. When traveling, it is practical to have them in a textile bag to prevent the surface from rubbing against zippers and hard edges of luggage. Always let them air out well and dry completely before storing them in the box.
Additional info
Ink Platform stands out in simple combinations: black or gray pants, white shirt, long coat, minimalist handbag – and the shoes will make a modern outfit base. If you want contrast, try light denim, beige tones, or bold socks that highlight the platform even more. For choosing the right size, think about whether you will wear the shoes barefoot or with socks; for all-day walking, a small reserve in the front is comfortable. The platform is also great for those who want "height" without the fatigue from heels – still, it behaves best on firm urban surfaces.

About the brand Perky
Perky is a Brazilian brand that was founded in 2011. Since the beginning of production, the main product is a South American espadrille called ALPARGATAS. You have never heard this term and would like to know more? Alpargatas are characterized above all by the way they are made. One of the three main components of each shoe is a durable PVC sole. The other indispensable part of the shoe is the hand-woven fabric that is gradually wrapped around the sole until the final shape of the shoe is created. At this point, all that is missing is the insertion of a soft cotton insole, which is completely removable and can be exchanged by the wearer for an orthotic insole. Add to this innovative shoe construction original imaginative designs and the South American espadrilles called alpargatas are born.
Since then, he has created a plethora of sneakers and alpargatas, all sewn on the same design principle that makes the shoe so incredibly light and comfortable. Last but not least, it's very important to mention that we put emphasis on good working conditions for all employees, which is also reflected in the footwear of all employees - they all wear Perks :)
And now it's time to bring the lightness and comfort of Perky to Europe.
