These are very cute in the picture, but it wasn't until I tried them on that I realized how high they are. I have no problem with a high heel shoe which makes me feel a little taller, but I feel like I'm trying to recreate the 1970s platform look. Also, the wooden sole doesn't bend with the foot. I normally wear a size 7 but ordered these in 6.5, which fit perfectly because my feet on more on the narrow side and I have short toes. I have high arches so the footbed felt really nice. But I'm returning these because I don't like the platform look or the non-bending wooden sole. I really do like the Earthies brand, so this definitely won't stop me from purchasing other Earthies shoes.
