Needed shoes to go with an evening gown for a military ball that were at least 4 inches high but still comfortable.  Ordered these as they are platforms which generally are more comfortable compared to other styles of high heels and thankfully they are very comfortable.  They are also very flattering on the foot and are more attractive in reality than they look in the photos.  I own other pairs of Steve Madden shoes and they are well made/designed shoes for their price range.
