I purchased the black suede pair and I absolutely love them. They are very comfortable. They have a slight platform, and the width is adjustable with the lace-up front. The fringe at the back heel are free hanging from the back of the shoe so when you walk or dance they shimmy and move with you. :) Great suede feel. These are way better than the Carlos Santana lace-up braid-like strappy sandals that look similar to these, which are not suede nor feel sturdy enough, returned. These sandals look great and sturdy and feel great!The tan suede sandals in this style I returned because the colors of the straps were lighter in color than the base/platform of the shoe. I didn't like that so I returned them. Had they been all the same shade of tan and consistent, I would have kept them.

I bought these hoping I wouldn't feel the height because of the platform, but I do. The upside is that they are super sexy and the laces helps strap your foot in, so you don't feel like you'll fall over. The price is decent and you will likely get compliments and be able to show off your pedicure.
