These platform sneakers are pretty comfortable even for long walks. The key is to wear thick socks so your feet do not get abraded in your new sneakers. The design is kinda of awkward though. Like Frankenstein's shoes but w/ the right bellbottoms they are more than passable.  :)  I love the height they give me. So I would reccomend these sneakers. 4.5/5 stars. And don't forget to half size up ladies.
