Buffalo's notoriety increased significantly with the popularity, especially in Europe, of its platform shoes from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s. The 10-centimetre platform model 1310-2 was made famous by British girl band the Spice Girls. The 1310-2 also came with a 20-centimetre platform.[1]

Buffalo manufactures women's shoes, men's shoes like dress shoes, western and biker boots, skate shoes, high heels, pumps, sandals, overknee boots,[2] flip-flops, and other footwear, as well as shirts, jackets, trousers, skirts, hosiery, swimsuits, undergarments, and small baggage.

Revival

As part of the 1990s revival in fashion in 2018 - 2022 Buffalo Boots released version 2.0 of some of its iconic 1990s platform shoes.[3] Including the 1348-14 as well as various tower models.[4][5]
