Not only are these shoes comfortable but they look awesome too!  The heel is a bit thicker so you won't get stuck with an achy foot and the platform is higher so the shoe height isn't bad.  I bought these in Galaxy (purple) which is a wonderful rich color.  I got in my usual size of 7.5 and found that I possibly could have gone a half size smaller due to a bit of slippage in the heel.  I ended up keeping the 7.5 and just put some padding on the back, which made the shoe even more comfortable.
