Wow..I never thought I would say this about this shoes but it is high and beutifull BUT the most confortable shoe I have worn with high heels....I can stay in these shoes a long time and am comfortable doing all kinds of movement even a lot of dancing..there is something with the platform and the way it is designed that makes the foot sit comfortably....I loook gorgeous...The material does look a little lile glitter plastic but they do look sexy and elegant....
