Two years and 5 months owning these boots…
I bought these boots on October 11, 2021. I’ve decided to write this review today (so far ahead, I know) because I used them literally last week on my birthday and today I realized that I bought these boots soooo long ago since I saw that i made the purchase on my 2021 order history tab while originally looking for some other product on there. With my lengthy history in mind, let me tell you guys how they held up, what I feel about them, and what actually led me to buy them:1. I was broke. (Price on these boots are stellar)Originally, I REALLY wanted to buy name brand platform boots (such as dolls kill) since a pair I owned at the time that I have thrifted failed me and decided to just detach from the sole. While looking online on the branded websites, I was thinking, “Man. This is expensive.” I was broke af and didn’t think that dropping over a hundo on platforms was good for my wallet and mental well-being. So, I thought that maybe I should just look on Amazon and see what options I had on there. I scrolled so long and read so many reviews on different products that my head was spinning and my eyes ached. I was looking at this product next and really liked the style of the boots. The price was so good and the reviews seemed to be pretty good, so I made the decision to buy these ones.2. Thoughts upon arrivalWhen I ripped open and completely shredded up that Amazon box once they arrived, I was happy to find that they were sent in good condition and looked exactly like the photo online. I picked them up and was surprised how light they were. Not too light though, but they were not heavy. The chain on it was cute and the laces aren’t janky. Zipper on the sides of the boots weren’t busted or cheap; it opened and closed up smoothly.3. Wearing themThe amount of compliments I got from friends, coworkers, classmates, etc is ASTRONOMICAL. Literally, these boots elevated all my “going out” outfits when I decided to not leave my house looking like I’m decaying and dying inside and out. There’s also a lot of “you look so tall!” comments since I go from like 5”1 to 7” apparently but that’s besides the point. These look real good on you.4. COMFORTABLEI stated in 3 that I look like I’m decaying usually and it also shows through my clothes. I really dgaf about how I look out the house most days because I love being comfortable. You know what that means— sweats and hoodies. Sometimes I even show up to my job in pajamas like I really don’t care. And that translates the same to my shoes, even if I’m dolled up. So I am SO HAPPY TO REPORT THAT these are COMFORTABLE. Remember I said they were lightweight? Yeah, I wore these bad boys to an 8 hour shift at my retail job once and my feet did not ache at all and it did not feel like I had literal bricks and mercury blocks strapped to my feet. I was literally on my feet for 98% of my shift and still went out afterwards in them. I also used these boots while acting in a music video shoot and I did not have the need to be taking it off during my breaks or in between those long hours of filming. I attached a photo of me in the music video wearing the boots, I think they looked pretty good!5. Still going on strongBeen over 2 years and these things are not messed up. Obviously you gotta take good care of them like you would anything you own (duh) but these survived the club and dancing bars. That has to count for something, alongside working in them at a labor intensive retail job when I’m kicking heavy boxes around and running all over the stockroom and sales floor. I’m also pretty clumsy at times and kick various pieces of furniture beside me. No dents or scratches on the faux leather and most importantly the platform sole hasn’t detached from the shoe body. That’s usually the problem with some platform boots and these ones haven’t failed me yet.Important thing to note is that I don’t wear these things everyday, they lived their prime time during the first year of owning them and then after that I kinda just mellowed out and my days are pretty much college, work, rot in bed, and shopping. So back into the sweats and hoodies I go. Otherwise though, I do use these on dinner/anniversary dates with my boyfriend and special occasions where I’m going out, like my birthday or parties/get togethers. I also used these on Halloween in 2022 when I dressed up as Tiffany Valentine from Chucky.My main point is that if you are on a budget and care about longevity (MEANING YOU ALSO TAKE CARE OF YOUR STUFF), comfortability, style, and looking tall I guess, these are the right pick. I’m also a big advocate to not buying multiple items of stuff you already have (trying to avoid the hyper consumerism) so these are really the only platform booties I own and use to which they held up amazingly.Also sorry for the small amount of dookie photos of the boots I attached to my review. I don’t usually take full outfit pictures of myself that includes my shoes lol but here are some I found of me wearing them throughout the years.Last note I’m adding in on here is to just do not drive in platforms. Ever. I have never done it before but that’s pretty dangerous, so stay safe y’all.

A little tight at first but broke in super easily
These fit a little tight when I first tried them on, but after only wearing them like once or twice they already are much more comfortable and fit completely fine. Super chunky and cute, the perfect boot especially for leg warmers.

Eh

I've had these for 2 years
I bought these on a whim bc they were cheaper and did the job as a "platform" ... which can be very expensive. I honestly didn't expect them to last long. I've gone to multiple shows and music festival with these things. Walked MILES in them, danced countless hours. I thought I ruined them a few times and prepared to throw them out but they always washed well!! Bleach, soap, magic eraser and a toothbrush!! And they're surprisingly comfy!! Coming from someone with constantly hurting feet. I like them because they are basically flat but also tall. I'm 5'6 with out shoes so I feel like a extra tall goddess in these. I'll be pretty sad when these kick the bucket! Give them a try. I'm a tough critic!

The Cutest Boots!
These boots are so cute and versatile. I wore them for a barbie themed party, then to two concerts, my fourth of July look, with a romper at the beach.... and I'm probably going to wear them again for Halloween. They are heels, so they're not going to be pain free, but as far as heels go these are the most comfortable I own by far.They are easy to trip in though, especially if you're walking on an uneven path. So I definitely would not recommend for an outdoor event.But they're beautiful and I get l loads of compliments every time I wear them. :)

Love them!
Super cute, very light, easy to get on and off, and they’ve held up great! The chain doesn’t make much sound when you walk either

Fall Apart
I have had these shoes for 10 days and while they are great, the down fall is that the sole has fallen off. The right side fell apart but I just used some shoe glue to fix it and the glue worked great, however six days later the left shoe sole has fallen apart. They are lightweight and amazing for wearing for long hours. They run a bit small, if you have a wider foot I would get a size up from the suggestion.

Super cute but arrived with damage
The fit is a little too big but comfortable. The finish is very shiny but fun. I was very disappointed when the shoes arrived with scuffs on the back of one of the shoes. Everything else about the shoe is great.

Pricy
I thought they were a little pricy for the quality

Sehen gut aus, unbequem bei längerem tragen
Hab die Schuhe für ein Fotoshooting gekauft. Dafür sind sie gut geeignet. Weit laufen möchte ich damit aber nicht. Auf unebenem Boden wird das schnell sehr anstrengend, man hat keinen guten halt, weil die Sohle auch kein gutes Profil hat und die Schuhe sind sehr steif und unflexibel, was sie leider auch etwas unbequem macht. Je nach verwendungszweck also 1 bis 5 Sterne. Für mich sind es 4 Sterne.

Terrible fitting. I’m normally a 5.5 uK and it felt like a size 3! Recommend getting bigger size.
