text: Shoes came as promised with overnight shipping. They are perfect! All straps are adjustable which is exactly what I needed having such a slim foot. I was a little hesitant with the heel appearing really skinny but these shoes are very stirdy and really really easy to walk in. They really feel like wedges. Also they are very comfortable which is vital for someone wearing them 4+ hours a night. Haven't had a chance to try them out pole dancing but being they are patent leather I'm sure they will be great. These are by far the best platforms I've ever invested in! Oh and as far as the size goes I'm usually a half size so I ordered a size up but these are very roomie, I know I could have gone a size down easily.
