Ilove these shoes they are top qaulity which I have come to exspect from this brand. The leather is soft but supple although they did pinch my toes untill I stretched then out.they are also realy light considering  the wood heal and platform. I'm so happy I got them for over halfe off They are realy easy to walk in and the heal measures out to a little over 2inches,however it's hard to measure the platform because it's hidden. I highly reccomend these shoes and this brand.
