I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and saw that the fuchsia is much more vibrant in person than it appears online.  It's a gorgeously rich color.

As for the sizing, I wear anywhere from size 5.5 to 6.5 (you know how inconsistent shoe sizing is!), but mostly 6.5, and always wear running shoes in 6.5 (Reebok, Asics, Mizuno), so I ordered a 6.5 and am glad I didn't go down in size. It feels a little crowded in the toe area.

It has a slight hidden platform, maybe 1/4".  My pair measures 3.75" at the back of the heel, 3" at the inside of the heel where it begins to taper upward. That's a pretty high heel, but the platform and chunkiness of the heel makes it more wearable.

The only reason I took away a star is because most of the studs are worn/scratched right out of the box.
