I am very used to walk in high heels and these are so hard to walk. They fit me perfectly, and even I put those insets to hold my ankles, they kept coming out at every step.  They are the hardest shoes to walk I have ever had. I look like a walking soldier. jaja. I had to alter them putting ankle straps and now, I wear them everywhere because the heel and platform are so comfortable.  These are very good looking shoes. I look really tall as the leather on the front does not show the platform. I am sorry I had to invest more to make them useful.
