In the picture they look a beautiful bright purple, but when they arrived they were quite dull. That was disappointing.

I ordered my usual size 10 [sometimes i'm up to an 11, but there was no 11 available] they're a bit snug at the toe, which ladies shoes often are on me, i can go down to a 9 if there's a nice round toe. (Why do they all have pointy toes? do women have pointy feet?) It's not too uncomfortable though, because the material is nice and soft. I doubt it's very durable, but i shouldn't be wearing heels this high too often anyway, and i only paid $32 for them, so not being durable isn't a huge issue.

There's not much padding in the front, but you could easily add one of those little "party feet" inserts or something.

The heel angle isn't great, it's a bit to far from the platform, it would be better if it was angled forward slightly, but possibly i'm just not used to walking in heels quite this high. The platform curve is very good for walking though, and has the bonus that I can kinda tip toe in them to keep the heel off the ground if i'm on a cork floor or something.
