I received this shoe within 2 days of confirming my order with free shipping. (go Amazon prime!)

First impressions...lovely, adorable shoe.  The raspberry/purple (think "Barney" purple) color and ruffle t-strap adds a great "pop" to your outfit without being over-the-top.  I couldn't be happier with the style.

I wore the shoe all day at work and had zero discomfort from the height of the heel.  The heel height is perfect.  Just high enough to be sexy, but still sensible enough to run around in without pain.  In higher heels, I generally find myself shifting my weight from one foot to the other to eleviate the pain.  Not so with these. The platform also added a bit of height (yay!) to my 5'2 frame.

This shoe runs true to size.  I am between a 7.5 and 8 and went for the smaller size; I did not want my heel slipping around.  My only complaint is the toe area of the shoe is slightly narrow and my foot was irritated a bit towards the later part of the day by the rubbing.  I have an average width foot, so wide width buyers beware.  I am assuming that with time, just as my other Madden Girl heels, the toe-area will "give" enough to be comfortable.

Overall, great value for the money and a really cute addition to my wardrobe.
