I'm 5'6 and I'm scared of shoes with platform at the front. This are high but I don't feel like part of a circus. They look exactly like the pictures, beautiful, golden. I don't give a 5 because of the size. If I like something I'm open to purchase a size up or down if it fits or I can make it work but this shoes besides I got my true size the space in the back is too noticeable to hide and the material at the front is like some type of fabric that allows the feet to move down not helping. I had to give it to a friend that she is size 9. I'll order them but 7. 5.
