"These shoes are beyond amazing! Do NOT be intimidated by the heel height or platform height as these shoes are more comfortable than my flat shoes, they are extremely light too!!!. I wore them to a dinner with a black and white lace dress with peplum and danced my heart away....in these heels. Mind you, that was my first outing with the shoes. No need to break them in first. Oh and they look so much more expensive!. I'm a size 9 but I had to return it for a size 10 so get a size up."
