I took a chance on these sandals.  Usually I don't buy something unless there are some reviews to read but since there were none - and I mean nowhere on the net - I decided to go ahead and buy them in the red color.  I'm glad I did!  I received them today.  These are super comfortable platform sandals.  The straps are all adjustable and they're easy to walk in.  I might buy the beige ones for variety but I'll give these a proper wearing before I do that.  The wedge seems to be some kind of imitation wood-look material and I like the fact that it's not heavy. The sole is rubber so I don't feel like I'm going to be skidding about every time I take a step.  Shoe seems solid enough for every day wear.  My only objection is that the straps aren't leather.  I'd gladly pay more for leather straps.  Still gets five stars from me however!
