I liked these shoes very much. The heel is high but it is very sexy. Wore them to church, don't know if I would wear them for something else where I would have to stand for long periods of time. The platform is nice, but the hole where the toes peak through, should have been wider. They made my legs run on and on. And that's a good thing! If the toe hole and the straps were wider, they would have gotten 5 stars!
