I purchased these shoes for my wedding and absolutely fell in love with them. They fit beautifully and were simply stunning! The only reason I returned them was because I opted to wear a different pair that I had purchased, however, have no fear - these shoes are beyond gorgeous. I loved the detailing on the back of the heel -- it was really well secured onto the shoe and I just loved the added sparkle. The platform is supportive and not too, too high -- they were comfortable to wear when I put them on and I imagine you would get a good solid 4-5 hours of comfort out of wearing them. The satin material on the shoes was very pretty as well, they're a vibrant blue kind of like a bright peacock blue. The peep toe wasn't too wide so you're toes won't be slipping out. I would probably recommend purchasing some stiletto inserts to provide your feet extra comfort and perhaps an extra set of the heel tips because I have experience with those and they tend to wear down after several wears especially if you're going to be doing a lot of walking or standing on concrete. One additional thing I purchased to go along with these stunning shoes (and to help protect the heel) was a set of clear plastic heel protectors which also prevent you from sinking into grass or getting your heels caught in the spaces between wooden planks in patios or decks.If I hadn't returned these, I had planned to see if it was possible to have them scotch guarded to help prevent stains or scuffs from setting in. I actually kind of have regret returning them, however, I do not think I would have had a near future occasion to wear them. They reminded me of the wedding shoes Carrie from Sex and the City wore except I liked these much better ... and they are a much more affordable price point than those featured in the show. These shoes will honestly go with pretty much any dress (regarding weddings), my dress was a deep creamy off white, almost an antique-y color (it was called lace over cognac) and they looked great with it. I wound up wearing a completely sparkly darker shoe that I felt were so unique and pretty that I just could not not wear them. However, the shoes I wore would definitely not look good with all dresses, so these are definitely more universal and can complement a broad spectrum of dress types.If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I'm more than happy to help!
