I love blue, I love suede, and I love platforms.  And this heel height is so much more sensible for me.  The ankle strap is well-balanced compared to the rest of the shoe (sometimes you see these clunky-ish shoes with teeny little ankle straps that look unbalanced).  These have a nice soft insole and a round toe, easy to walk in.  I'm keeping them, but there is one thing I would change if I could, and that is to make the ankle strap close with a buckle instead of velcro.  Velcro screams either "cheap" or "comfort shoe," neither of which I want people to associate with me!  A buckle would be more work, but a nice bold geometric one would make the shoe look better, I think.
