I have a hard time wearing heels especially now that almost everything cute has at least a 4 inch heel.  I have purchased and returned at least 6 different boots trying to find the right combination of heel hight and platform height and then also big enough for my calves.  My search came to an end as soon as I put this boot on.  The leather is super soft and it was very easy to get my foot in and out as well as zip up . The first day I wore them I stood for almost 3 hours straight and I wasn't uncomfortable at all.
