Size up and make sure that the size brought is the correct size, since these shoes don't stretch and may not work at all for wide feet
High platform makes it easier to walk in higher heels, since the heel height doesn't feel as large as it is
For 4.5 inch high heels, if you select the right size (size up for wide feet), the shoe is fairly comfortable and leather will stretch with time to fit even better.
The sizing for this shoe is all different between colors and different pairs. Some sizes and pairs run small, others run large or are perfect.
