These are definetely fun shoes. And by fun I mean to go out in but not stand or walk or dance in for more than a couple of hours. The heels are very high and I am used to high heels. But than again all these platform shoes nowadays are like that. Accept it or don't be fashionable. Although they are not real suede they do look nice. I was afraid they might be a little "trashy" but they are OK. Exactly what I expected for this price and am glad to have gotten them. The size is true. The opening around the ankles is a bit wide but then again I have thin ankles and calves.
