I ordered these in the black swade and I just loved them. Very stylish. Unfortunately the arch is too steep and that makes the shoe very unconformable to wear. I felt like they were too high for me, but then I measured the heel with another pair of platforms I have and found them to be the same. Those are super comfortable to me (as comfortable as you can be in such high heels) but these were too painful to wear even around the house. I held on to them as much as I could, trying to see if I can change my mind about them, especially since I got a great deal on them, but I just couldn't wear them. Finally I had to send them them back. :( I wish they could revise the construction of the shoe and make them more comfortable, so I could buy them back, because they did look gorgeous and I fell inlove with them.
