These are gorgeous. The 7.5 was just a bit too small, so I sent them back. I was so disappointed, because I could not exchange them; Amazon only allows an exchange if you get the exact same thing. By the time I got them, the sale was over so the price had jumped by 25%. I had to pay return shipping and could not get a pair at the same price any longer. IMO, it was their fault for providing a shoe that was cramped in the toe box. I am a true 7.5, and it was very uncomfortable. If you get these, go a 1/2 size higher.

If you plan on wearing them every now and then, they are for you, especially if you want to be about 5 inches taller! They are perfect for the office: somehow prim and super sexy at the same time. The total height minus the platform height at the toe is something like 3.5", so it's like wearing a 3-1/2" heel.

However, if they were to make the rise a little lower, this would be the perfect shoe. The color was perfect for that long-legged look you get with nude hose and these color of shoes, and they are neutral so they go with everything.
