I have been looking for platform shoes that are comfy enough to wear every day and chase after my 2 year old, and here they are. The fit is amazing. Like other reviewers, I wear a 8.5 and ordered the 8 and it fits perfectly. The crisscross on top holds my foot in place so it feels really stable and solid. The heels is cushy, shock absorbent and flexible. I get compliments on these every time I wear them. I have basically ordered one in each color to make sure I have one for the coming years. It's *that* good.
