I wouldn’t wear these with the socks but I just took a quick picture for context. These are comfortable, it’s like walking on clouds. Size down, not up so if you’re in between..go to the size down as these are already blatant chunky fashion shoes if you go up a size id imagine they’d look like clown shoes on your feet. Not the best quality but for the price they are decent and it’s what you make them , they don’t look cheap but it’s how you wear them so I wore these to a picnic and received lots of compliments, it’s the way I accessorize with the gold (not included)..I couldn’t imagine wearing these without them they look so plain. Also, The platform gives you a little height and these are so fab with flare leg pants/ boyfriend jeans. Don’t overthink it, just buy.
