These are quirky edgey platforms to really make you stand out on your next night out! The body of the shoes is black or cream with a black and grey/ cream and beige snakeprint insert in the platform and on the back of the shoe. The classic peeptoe is sexy and edged in silver, the 3 straps supports the ankle and the straps can be adjusted to fit you perfectly. They have a fabulous 5 1/4 inch sexy spiked heel (4 1/2 if measured inside) with a 1 1/2 inch platform. These shoes give you 4 1/2 extra inches without being flimsy- they actually feel quite sturdy due to the excellent design. They are comfortable to wear- I love platforms because you get the height without your feet being at such an angle. The sole on these is also very padded to cushion those tootsies.
