So I purchased these shoes a while back, but have not worn them regularly until recently. They are absolutely lovely and I have gotten a lot of compliments on them.

My only complaint is that the ankle is rather loose and I cannot tighten them with the velcro inside or the buckle strap round the outside. The material that they are made out of is very stiff and secure, so falling out of them is not a problem. I love that they are platformed: it takes about an inch and a half off of the height of the heels giving your feet less strain, but giving up none of the glam that comes with a higher heel.

These are definately not jean shoes: they beg to be shown off and the collar does not allow for trouser legs that are tight. I recommend something with black tights, like a shorter dress or skirt, as it makes the gold stand out. Also, wearing them with long skirts or dresses is not recommended: the details tend to catch.

In all, a good purchase.
