They arrived and went right back in the box and were returned.  There was nothing in the description or photo to indicate that there was a hidden platform inside the front of the shoe.  I realize that the inside platform is popular, however, it is not what I was looking for in a vintage shoe.  The shoe was not bad looking, however, in no way worth the price tag and I am accustomed to buying pricey shoes.  All in all I was disappointed in the shoe.
