ATTN: GOGO DANCERS! Finally comfort and height in ONE!
I am a gogo dancer, and I used to wear hefty platform boots that would make my feet hurt badly. I wear these to music festival gigs that I GoGo at.. and I don't even worry about my feet hurting anymore. :)=> PROS:- I barely notice I'm wearing them, because they're light and comfortable. I also usually wear gel in-soles, but these didn't need them.- They have enough cushion and a slight arch to forego the insoles. Even after 6 hours on my feet, my feet felt fine.- Also, for any fellow GoGo's.... these shoes fit perfectly underneath fluffy/fuzzy boot covers without stretching them out .- The heel gives at least about 4" in height, which is about the same height you'd get in some high heels. They are shorter than most platform boots, but the extra comfort is sooo worth it.- The thick laces on these shoes are very good quality. Thick laces are the best when needing stability. The shoes feel snug, and you barely need to re-tighten them because of the thread count.- The shipping is fast! I needed these when my old boots broke and I needed a QUICK FIX. Of course, individual cases might vary. Hopefully you have good luck too!=> CONS:- I bought the white pair, and they can get dirty fast. Even though mine stay hidden underneath costume attire (fuzzy bootcovers) I do notice that the material of the platform can scuff very easily. I am aware that MOST white shoes can have this issues, but with the platforms being bigger on these shoes, scuffs and marks are more noticable.- The bottoms don't have much grip at all, so please be careful when trying to dance with them.=> FINAL THOUGHTS:I am really happy with these platform sneakers. They are a good investment for my own purposes. As a dancer, worrying about my comfort has become a priority. After suffering with platform vinyl boots for a long time, these shoes are revelation!

Great sneakers but really do run small!
I ordered these sneakers to wear on my wedding day. I know.. sneakers are not what a bride usually wears, but I wanted to be comfortable on my big day and I still needed the extra height next to my groom who is a foot and a half taller than me!I love them! They were exactly what I was looking for. They are comfortable and give me the same height that any heels would. Plus they are adorable and stylish enough to wear again and again!The only issue I have is how small they run. I read a lot of the reviews saying that they were a bit small, so I took their advice and ordered an 8 when I normally take a 7 to a 7 1/2. When I got them they were still a bit small. I was going to return them for a half size up, but they were sold out in the color I wanted. Thankfully, with a bit of stretching solution, a few pairs of thick socks, I was able to break them and and stretch them out to a much better fit!I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone that would want them, but make sure to get them AT LEAST one size bigger than you would normally wear!

great style & value
These are great! I ordered up one entire size & they fit great.The quality of these shoes was a surprise - I was not disappointed about anything.They have a very light foam sole & heel so they are super comfortable. The entire shoe is extremely light weight, easy to walk in & durable. The suede is good quality also - does not look cheap. They even came with extra rhinestones in case one comes off! The look fantastic with yoga pants, tights, jeans. Takes the over casual look away from wearing sneakers! I have had lots of compliments. They are exactly like in picture - jet black everywhere & fantastic looking.

Pleasantly surprised!
I am very happy with these cash sneakers! They are lightweight and pretty darn comfortable for a high wedge sneaker. The upper inside of the shoe is soft and cushy and the wedge itself is not too heavy or hard. The shoe has a good inch or more at the ball of the foot too which helps the slant of the shoe to be less drastic. They give me the height I need and look great with jeans or sweatpants. In fact, with long pants, they look like a regular heeled sneaker! I love them so much I just ordered another pair. Well made and comfortable for casual walking. I wore them recently to a resort and walked around the local shops and dining nicely and even ran across the street at crosswalks. Of course if you're planning on spending the day at the Zoo or anyplace with extended walking you would need a lower heeled sneaker of course. True to size and plush look.

Lifesavers!
These shoes are lifesavers for me!I was born with tendons that don't stretch properly. As a result, I walk and stand on the ball of my foot - with my heel in the air. For most things, this isn't an issue. As a grown woman, I am free to wear high-heeled and wedge shoes for almost everything; they are comfortable for me, and disguise the fact that I walk strangely. The only thing I had a hard time doing was exercise. Pumps just aren't safe on exercise equipment. Nor are the wedge-heeled flip flops and sandals I tend to wear around the house. And barefoot isn't an option for shared equipment (and probably isn't safe either). The wedge heeled sneaker trend has been great for me, as it allows me to have comfortable, safe workout shoes. Even if they aren't the prettiest shoes around.I've owned several pairs in several brands, but the Cash shoe by Volatile is my favorite. The platform provides just the right amount of cushioning for the ball of my foot - which takes all of my weight, all the time - while I'm on the treadmill or elliptical. The wedge is the perfect height for the way I stand and walk.I've been so thrilled I've bought two pair so far (I completely wore out the first pair), and will soon need a third!
