When I initially ordered these HK sandals I thought they were feminine and a bit "edgy." They were the perfect balance of the two. Well, the sandals were everything I thought they would be. They were not only attractive but easy to walk in as well. I ordered them in black and in the size 5.5 and they fit true to size. I think they're easy to walk in because of the accomodating platform and thicker heel. However, the heel isn't so thick that they look like blocks. You know that look...the look like someone chopped up two by fours and placed them under your shoes to be used as heels. I gave these HK sandals 5 stars because they are quite attractive and made with quality materials that are engineered to provide comfort and longevity. I would highly recommend these sandals to those who wish to maintain their femininity yet express a flare of "edginess."  Also having the ability to remain comfortable in these high heels is not a bad thing either.
