I sent them back because they were WAY too high off of the ground! I wear high stilettos, like 4.5 inches high. These bad boys made me feel unsafe. They sure were good looking though. Oh, also, the platform seemed really high. Amazon is great though, so if you *think* that you can handle these bad a** shoes, try them, because you can always send them back if it doesn't work out. You will DEFINITELY be noticed if you can pull it off without looking like you are on a high-wire.
