text: These shoes are awesome!  The only reason I gave them a 4 star instead of 5 is because the run a little bit on the wide side.  I have an average medium width, and found that they do stretch a little and I have to use the tightest notch on the buckle.  The fit true to size, so don't order up or down, just stick to your normal size.  This is truly the first pair of shoes other than my dr martens that I can wear for a full day of retail work.  The heel height at the tallest is 3in and the platform front is 1.5in so they are super comfortable.  I don't do heels at work and I don't sacrafice pain vs. comfort when working a 10 hr day.  The foot bet is super soft and has a great cushion.  I ended up purchasing another pair different color.
