Let alone a platform girl. But a black leather pump is a necessity. I'm much like a baby giraffe learning how to walk half the time...even in flats. Even though these heels are quite high I was able to strut around my apartment in ease. The real test will be running around DC for a fun night out next week. Since these usually retail for $120 I am disappointed by the quality in leather. I expected a bit more. But for $45 I can't be too upset. I'll definitely buy KD shoes again in the future.
