When I opened the box these I was happy to see the colors were as beautiful as the pictures. The moment I slipped my feet into these I knew they would be my new favorite shoes. They are a wonderful height and very comfortable. It's been so hard to find shoes with a subtle platform lately but these were perfect. There is some puckering to the leather on the inside of the shoe but only when walking. I don't see this puckering when standing still and some one would really have to be stalking your feet to notice it while your walking!
