These are my first heels and I love them. They're perfect for the fetish events I attend.  I'm a man's size 11, and I'd heard I should go two sizes up for women's sizes and someone else said go up one size for high heels and the 14 is perfect. As a first-timer I did have to practice a few days before wearing them out, but after a long night in the club I became fairly good at them, and they were very comfortable the entire night. I'm pretty muscular, but the ankle straps buckled with room to spare, so maybe the maker has lengthened them since some of the reviews. They are crazy stylish and  I get so many compliments and it is fun to be 6' 5"!  Lycra, latex, leather outfits all work with them. They're feminizing and butch at the same time.

These are great learner heels because the laces make it easy to tighten down for as much support as you need. I did watch a youtube to figure out stairs, but otherwise all you really have to do is take shorter steps than you're used to taking in flat soles, and you'll be fine. These boots have really encouraged a heel fetish and I'll be adding another shelf in my shoe closet as soon as I find the perfect pair of platform thigh-highs.
