i tried these shoes today. it's about 4inch high, with slightly less than one inch of platform in front. it's really comfy i can dance in them - at least in the store. i just can't decide if these look awful with the thick platform, but it's the main source of comfort. and, if these are pretty, which color should i get? nude or black? i just fear i'll look like a giant among everyone with these highh heels :( hate being too tall or too short.
