I recently found this site on the subject of raised-heel and platform shoes in the 15th through 17th centuries CE in Europe, with special attention paid to 16th century Italy. It includes a nice selection of illustrations (from period artwork) as well as documentation and recommendations about how to build your own shoes. If Italian Renaissance is your period, it's very worthwhile. I found this courtesy of the Italian Showcase; it's the page of Francis Classe who, with Sarah Lorraine, has a costume that is currently being featured on the page.
