I was looking for a nice nude platform sandal and these are perfect. They are very comfortable. The nude color lengthens the look of the leg (for light-skinned people) and it allows the eye to be drawn to your outfit (I love vintage dresses) rather than a clunky shape as it would in say, in black. I was happy to learn that these are made in the USA. Fyre is the only other company that comes to mind -- they make amazing boots that I wear in the cooler months. Please note these do run small. I am a 7.5 and I ordered both a 7 and an 8 to compare. The 8's were huge on me. Love the cut-outs, the studded nails, the height, the color. Great job, Sbicca.
