These have beautiful lines, a covered platform and elegant heel. The blue color is lovely, if the tiniest bit greener in person. I love these. The platform also tricks the eye into thinking you're wearing higher heels than you are; these wear like 3 inch heels even though they're almost 5 1/2 inches high, which is great for comfort and for those that are 4'11" (like me). Can't say enough good things about these!
