Platform too squishy, not supportive
Size: 11, Color: Sand Suede
The soles on these shoes while they feel comfortable do not provide enough support. I ended up rolling my ankle when walking across a concrete lot when I stepped on a couple of rocks. The soles were so mushy that the side of my foot just rolled out. Due to the height my ankle traveled from the platform shoe to the ground … internal damage happened.
I had to have surgery to repair the ligaments providing ankle support.
So tread carefully.

The most comfy shoes I own!
Size: 9.5, Color: Sand Suede
Do you know what I mean when I say these shoes are so ugly they are cute? They are not the prettiest shoes but boy do I love them!!! And I get tons of compliments all the time. They are sooooo comfortable! It’s like walking on cushions! They run a little big so I would suggest going down a 1/2 of size. I wear them with dresses and pants. I can wear these all day and that’s important for a 60ish year old woman! A little pricey but well worth every penny!

Love them
Size: 5.5, Color: Red Pepper
I have gotten so many compliments on these shoes! They’re true to size and comfortable. Because of the material feet might sweat easier if hot but they dry quick. Quality is great and the color looks good, it’s more of a orange/red color. I got a 5.5 size
