"I have some foot complications that make it painful to wear any elevated shoe. It is always difficult to find sexier styles with platforms - they always end up being 5-6 inches tall, or look like they came from a nursing home. I also have a little bit of difficulty walking gracefully and naturally in anything over 3 inches, and my right foot is a 1/2-1 size smaller than my left. These shoes are an absolute godsend - the strap is adjustable and my smaller foot doesn't slip because my feet feel securely strapped in. They are so comfortable and as easy to walk in as your "easiest" shoe - they are also really sexy and look great with skinnies and with dresses. The best part is that they are real leather uppers, not synthetic - so they will wear well over time. HIGHLY recommend!"
