seems most people bought these for cosplay reasons, but I bought them for day to day wear. they are surprisingly comfortable for a heel of any height for me (I have low arch, so this is something that is next to impossible). They were originally a nod to my love of the look of vintage shoes to a shoe that has been one of my best friends in these winter months. the snap buttons seem intimidating at first, but they are quite easy to snap once you get the motion down

I am glad I listened to the recommendations to size up, though. I am a true 9 and the size 10 fit me perfectly.
