Not fun to have your doctor tell you it's time to lay off the stilettos -- and you actually have to listen this time....but that's what happened and I went off in search of a great set of heels that I could wear to work (or out) and not have my daughters think I was wearing Granny shoes -- and I found these shoes! They are true to fit, the platform gives great support, they work in the office or out, and my teenaged girls aren't concerned that I am going to sprout blue hair any time soon. Oh, and the toe-box is wide enough to accomodate your foot without squishing. Hope this helps!
