If you're considering them, you must try them......., yes, do it! I was pleasantly surprised to stumble into these shoes while searching for a 'slip-on, platform sneaker.' Little did I know that those search terms would send me to a treasure, far beyond my expectations! The shoe design is eye appealing; and, the platform and heel are flattering for the foot and leg and perfect for the comfort of my back and hips! Also, the engineering of the platform and heel for cushion and support is absolutely phenomenal. As I walk, I feel like I am gliding and bouncing in a soft, yet durable shoe - one that reminds me of my former ballet, jazz, and gymnastics shoes, but made from materials fit for the outside as well. I purchased them with my delivery side business in mind because I am on my feet, moving quickly, which demands shoes designed for comfort, agilility, and flexibility. So, I am thrilled with these shoes and already have a second pair! As for the fit, I ordinarily wear a 10 (thick feet, wide foot across the instep), and I ordered a 10 (size 42) - which is the correct fit for my foot! Go for it!!
