I ordered these in silver to replace an old pair of dress heels I've had that are falling apart.  While the silver color is just beautiful, the pitch on these heels is so steep that your ankle is pushed forward, creating a very uncomfortable slope.  The platform -- which should balance out the heel height -- does no such thing, and makes these feel as high as they are.  Overall, I wish these worked, but I can tell from wearing them around the house for just an hour that they're too steep for me, and probably will be so for others who aren't used to such a high heel.
