These shoes are cute but definitely heavier than I expected.  The difference between the heel and platform sole height is probably 1.5 in so it's so easy to walk on. The front is a little narrow even for my narrow feet. You probably have to be pretty careful when walking though.  The heel seems to be a little unstable. Because of the thick platform and wide heels, your legs look skinny and long. I gave them 4 stars because of the heel instability.  Maybe it's just my walking.
