Positives-The platform base gives great height, it reminds me of dansko clogs height, at least 2 inches-squishy soft base makes for comfort-very comfortable to stand inNegatives:-not sure the shoe is actually suede-very thin material, very cheaply made-the description says the width of the shoe can be adjusted, but had only one additional buckle hole-width was very wide and I fell out of the shoe multiple times while walking even after adjusting to the narrowest width hole on the strap-had to drill new buckle hole to make the shoe narrower so it wouldn't fall off-too expensive for the quality of the shoe-shoes don't feel secure on the foot when walking, can easily fall out of the shoeGreat for standing long amounts of time, not sure it will be great for walking short distances
