Love this shoe! It looks tall and sexy, but it's very comfortable. I wear an 11M with a narrower heel, and I have a lot of foot problems. I needed a high heel for a wedding and thought I'd give this a shot. Win! The platform keeps the heel from feeling so high, and the elastic strapping makes the shoe feel very secure. I did add a small gel pad at the ball of the foot for comfort, and wore these
shoes for 7 hours straight! I admit I had tiny blisters across my big toes where the top rubbed when I danced myself silly, but that might not have happened otherwise. The heel slips off if you try to take large steps, but my friends assure me that most platform heels do that, as there's
almost no flexibility in the shoe. Anyway, they felt very secure and very sturdy, while being rather comfortable for high heels. This is the first pair of high heels I've worn without pain in 6 years! I felt sexy and pretty in them, too. Love!
