This is what Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) would have worn in 2012. This shoe is sophisticated, chic and sparkly. The sparkly part in the platform front and heel. I have walked around in the shoe for a few minutes without any issues. The fit is true to size, the color is spot on and the feel of it on the foot is precise. I had tried a few red shoes before choosing these. I found the perfect shoe to be worn a the end of this month. It also helps me by adding some much needed inches to my short stature. Ladies if you want cute and elegant, choose this one. Found a great little red bag to match also on Amazon. Thanks Amazon for having what I need and for a good price too.
