"I was so looking forward to wearing these shiny fuchsia heels. This color is fantastic and would be a super complement to staid pencil skirts.
The shoe is very comfortable even with its platform and heel height. Unfortunately, the proportions for the shoe don't do it justice. Because the heel is so narrow (about 1/2 inch in diameter), it makes walking very precarious with the height of the platform (2 inches). I love walking in heels and at 5'1" tall, I wear heels every chance I get.
Awesome shoes don't look so awesome if the wearer is wobbly. And that's exactly the problem with these shoes. They are very comfortable and I would keep them in a New York minute if the heel were chunkier and more stable. I just don't like looking unsteady on my feet because it totally destroys the illusion."

See how high the heel rises against the ankle
"These shoes are gorgeous. I could see myself completely rocking them this summer. Unfortunately, the backs of the heels run very high and it rubs against the back of my ankles. The strap is sewn to the top of the heel back so the strap then also rubs across the outer malleolus (the outer ankle bone). This creates major opportunities for blisters in multiple places and I guarantee this will ruin your fun.
If the heel back didn't rise so high, they wouldn't rub and I wouldn't be returning them. But these shoes are truly beautiful and I'm sad I'm returning them."
