The boots I received are different from what is pictured and I'm not sure if it was a fluke or if that's what is being sent out now. Mine came with a 4.5 inch stiletto heel and 1 inch platform. Other than that, they look the same. Personally, I like what I received much better than what was pictured (these boots are HOT!). I did a lot of walking and standing in them and they were surprisingly comfortable up until the end of the night. I also didn't experience the heavy scuffing like other reviewers did - mine still look great!
