These shoes are so pretty! Looks exaclty like the photos. The platform height is about an inch. The toe part of the platform is a bit rounded, so the bottom front part of the shoe isn't completely flat. I am normally a size 6 aus with narrow feet. I saw some reviews saying to size up, and I'm glad I did. I woudl also recommend to size up. These shoes also smell a little weird when you first open them, but the smell goes away in a minute. Make sure to strap them up well, otherwise it might make it harder to walk in - esp if you're not used to wearing platforns (like me) 😂
