I bought these for the days that I don't want to wear my usual 5.5" platform knee-high goth boots that weigh 8 lbs together. They're a comfortable yet still super stylish substitute! Even though I have larger thighs, the fact that they're adjustable makes that a non-point. I noticed, in other reviews, that having larger thighs created a problem for some customers but I did not encounter this issue at all. The price is very reasonable for what you're getting and I've gotten a number of compliments from people.
