I am always on the lookout for navy blue shoes and when I saw them knew I had to have them. When I opened them I was delighted, they were beautiful. Having the platform helped them seem not so high and I could actually walk in them and my 59 year old legs looked shapely and young. Sadly, after wearing them for 10 minutes discovered my heel kept popping up. I wasn't sure it was from my toes sliding forward or the fit of the shoe. They were comfortable and surprisingly easy to walk in despite the height of the heel. I may order them in a size smaller because they are such a pretty shoe!
