I was a bit hesitant when I ordered these from prime wardrobe. I wasn't looking for a platform that had much heel height to it but I decided to try it. I love these shoes. I'm 5' and it gives me 4.25" more of height.  I got them for concerts and I wore them just recently out in the pit to MManson and RobZ and I'm so glad I did. It helped me get a little higher up than I'm used to and it being a boot that goes up past the ankle gives you more support. The 2in of heel hasn't given much trouble being in them hours at a time. I also added in a gel insert for more comfort. Love these.
