The first thing you'll need to know if you're thinking about buying these is that the heel is over five inches, and the platform is about 1 and a half inches, so these will give you a height-boost (if that's what you are looking for).

As is so often the case, i use a ladies' dress shoe gel insert, and that does make for more comfy walking and standing.  So, that adds ten bucks to the price of the shoe, but it's worth it in the end.

i just love the double ankle strap, as it helps to grip your ankle, making walking in heels this high a bit more stable and secure.  This shoe really looks like a sandal, but it covers the rear of your heel, so that makes them pumps, not sandals (although at first glance i sure thought i was looking at a pair of sandals, truth be told).

These are very striking on, while not being "too much" or "over the top".  They will add a very sexy "edge" to a simple jeans-and-halter top combo, particularly if you are keeping the colors simple.  However, these also work quite well with a multi-colored top or dress, as long as the color-combo pairs well with the shoes.  So, these are actually quite versatile.

i also like to wear these with jeans and a cute knit top, or a cute sweater.  The point is, these bring a very sexy edge to a casual outfit; you can be quite casual and still be very sexy!  These are quite eye-catching and sexy.  Highly recommended!
