I usually always go for this style platform... I'm a 60's girl at heart I guess. I'm 5'0 and they make me a good 5'5. I still like that i can get away with these and still look small. The ivory screams spring/summer. The shoes are a very nice make. My second pair of Sam's and I'm happy. I think it'll take some time for the leather to stretch a bit to completely fit my foot. I'm usually an 8 but i have a bit of a wide foot and looking at the reviews I oped for the half size. When was a good idea (Plus is was the only size in the 8's available :P ) I mean feel like i got a STEAL considering these are store priced 150 and i got them for $37. if you've take a double look at these get them!
