We've just added Demonia to the range at Dressed 2 Digress - and if you know the brand, you'll know exactly why we're excited. If you don't, here's your introduction: serious platform height, genuinely dramatic detailing, and a look that doesn't try to be anything other than exactly what it is.
What Makes Demonia Different
Demonia has built its reputation on one thing above all else: platforms that actually commit. Where a lot of footwear brands treat “platform” as a small nod to trend, Demonia builds pieces around it - chunky wedge soles, dramatic heel heights, and construction that's genuinely made to be worn, not just looked at.
Key Takeaway - Demonia isn't a brand for blending in. Chains, spikes, buckles, and serious
platform height are the whole point, not an afterthought.
The range spans everything from lower, more wearable Mary Janes through to full statement boots - so whether you're after a first pair to dip a toe in, or something that makes a proper entrance, there's a genuine spread to choose from.
Platform Mary Janes: The Everyday Entry Point
If Demonia feels like a big step, the Mary Jane range is the place to start. These pieces keep a familiar, classic shape - a buckled strap over the top of the foot - while still carrying Demonia's signature platform sole underneath.
Demonia DOLLY-50, Black Vegan Leather - £81.95
Demonia's DOLLY-50 is a great starting point - a classic chunky-heel Mary Jane silhouette, with one of the widest size ranges we stock (UK 6 through to 16), so there's genuinely something here for most.
Pro Tip - New to platform heels generally? A Mary Jane style like this is one of the more stable starting points, since the secure ankle strap gives extra support compared to a slip-on style.
Statement Boots: When You Want to Be Seen
For anyone after something bigger, Demonia's boot range is where things get genuinely dramatic - chain detailing, spike studs, buckle straps, and serious height, all built to be worn out rather than just admired on a shelf.
Demonia POISON-25-1, Black Vegan Leather - £124.72
Demonia's POISON-25-1 is a cage-style platform bootie with a pentagram charm detail - a good example of how far Demonia takes the concept of “statement” footwear, without needing to go all the way to knee-high or thigh-high.
Watch Out - Demonia runs to women's sizing as standard, and the sizes shown on each
product page are already listed in UK sizing - no conversion needed. Heavier detailing (chains, buckles) can still sit slightly differently depending on your ankle shape, so if you're between sizes, get in touch with us before ordering and we're happy to help.
Sizing Across the Range
Demonia sizes to a women's fit as standard, and the sizes listed on each product page are already shown in UK sizing, so there's no need to convert from US or EU. What does vary is the actual size run on offer - some styles run from a UK 5 right through to 16; others top out at 11 or 12. It's worth checking the sizes listed as available on each individual product page before ordering, since it varies style to style. If you're ever unsure which size to go for, our team is happy to help - just drop us a message before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Demonia boots comfortable to actually walk in?
Most Demonia platforms are built with a genuine platform sole underneath the heel, which reduces the effective incline compared to a heel of the same height without one - this generally makes them more wearable than the height alone might suggest. That said, any serious platform height benefits from a bit of practice walking in them before a big night out.
What's the difference between the Mary Jane and boot styles?
Mary Janes offer a lower, more familiar silhouette with a single ankle strap - a gentler introduction to platform styles. Boots go further in both height and detailing, often including lace-up fronts, chains, or buckle straps, and suit anyone wanting a bigger visual statement.
Is Demonia true to standard UK sizing?
Yes - Demonia sizes to a women's fit as standard, and the sizes shown on our product pages are already listed in UK sizing, so there's no conversion to work out. Fit can still vary slightly between silhouettes - a Mary Jane and a heavily-strapped boot won't always feel identical in the same nominal size - so if you're between sizes or unsure, get in touch with us before ordering and we'll do our best to help.
