I ordered the purple-pink-green version with some reservations as to the heel height and colors. FYI, the front strap appears yellow in some photos but it is closer to light lime green, and the front platform is raspberry pink as opposed to red. I am so glad I took the chance on them! This shoe is gorgeous, lots of fun, and it matches with more outfits than I originally supposed. Even though the heel zipper is the main way to get your foot in and out, there is also a small hidden elastic strap on the inner edge of the green band which helps the shoe to slide on easily. The heel is 5 inches, but the platform is nearly 2 inches, so it feels like only a 3 inch heel. They are quite stable compared to other platforms of this height. If you are short, you'll love the extra height without the pain of standard stilettos. I adore these - can't wait to take them dancing.
