These are a stylish sandals in a fabulous mix of fabrics. The toe is designed in a butterfly type shape in a velvety fabric with a tbar, straps and heels in complimentary shiny patent. The gold trim makes them look really special and the two gold balls on the toe is a nice finishing touch. The toe is very soft so that it doesn't cut into the feet like a lot of shoes. They have a fabulous 3 1/2 inch sexy spiked heel with a 1 inch platform. They are a nice height- high enough to make you feel sexy but not so tall that you fall over! They are actually really comfortable to wear- I love platforms because you get the height without your feet being at such an angle. The front is designed to hug your feet and the back strap can be adjusted to fit your foot perfectly. The sole on these is also very padded to cushion those tootsies and the soles are non slip so your feet don't slide around. Available in cobalt blue, black, muted pink and black
