These are so next level . They reach into the class, the sexy , the powerful bold, and just work 4 seasons ! NINE WEST delivers on every promise . You’ll see. Just watch the heads turn ;) and the compliments. Platforms , you don’t like them . No you like these . They’re only 1.5 but the effect is a 5” heel while maintaining a very user friendly loft of 3.5” What that means is that you will have the statuesque pump of a 5” but it won’t feel like you’re on your tippy toes … and these are stable block heels : you can be a novice in wearing heels and walk around like you grew up in heels . Just get them , what , I can’t help it they’re so awesome
