I saw these in a local retail store on a refill run for my coveted MAC blush, and I just couldn't leave them on the rack once the gorgeous, deep, velvety shade of blue-violet caught my eye! I slipped them on to find them to be sigh-inducingly comfortable for such a sexy, sexy shoe!

The height of this shoe is boosted by the now ever-popular platform, this one about an inch and a half high, which makes this nearly five inch high shoe much more accessible to those more accustomed to kitten heels without a platform, so yes, in all likelihood, you CAN comfortably wear this shoe for many, many hours at a time, to a full eight hour workday. I've only become a shoe maven over the past two and a half or so years; prior to that, I was all about the "comfy" shoes, but the platform that many shoe designers now incorporate into their various styles make these very high heels much more accessible, comfortable, and wearable.

The color on this shoe, as you might notice, is a rich, gorgeous jewel-tone shade of purple, perfect for an evening out in a sparkly top and jeans, or a comfortable, sleek print dress.

I put these on and wore them to work today, and the compliments haven't stopped coming. For the money I paid for these, I am all too happy with these shoes, and I hope that they'll last me for many years to come! This is a great color, and it's a great, stable, well-made shoe that's comfortable even after hours of wearing!
