I purchased this exact same "Breckelles" boot in "Blush" from a different online site & the hidden platform makes boot very comfortable to walk in; I'm a size 10 & even though my foot is a bit wide the boot fits great(The boot does have a side zipper, but I believe the fact that the boot laces can be loosened helps), boots are very true-to-size. Love these boots, but the only complaint that I have is I think it's misleading to call the color of the boot "Blush". The pic on Amazon's site depicts the color of the boot accurately, in that, this boot is the color of a "Milk Chocolate Candy Bar" with NO blush or pink undertones at all. They should call the color "Cocoa", because that's the exact color that this boot is. That being said, these boots are very beautiful and the faux suede plush & soft....highly recommend this boot.
