Steve Madden Women's A-Jalisa Ankle Boot

 (1 customer review)

I wear between a 9.5 and 10 but size up to a 10 when I purchase footwear online. I purchased both black and brown in a size 10. I wore the black pair to church and then a quick stop to the store afterwards today. I wore them for a little more than 4 hours total. A lot of that time was sitting but I had a good bit of time walking around at the store. Honestly, I am no stranger to very high heels. If they are made well, they do not bother me. These bothered me. When I put them on at first, they were fine. I adhered a thick gel insert where the ball of my foot goes as I do w/all of my platforms. The inserts helped a great deal. I would only recommend them to seasoned platform heel wearers and even those ladies may have issues with them, I did. I can't wear these boots to do a lot of walking in. The platform helps but it's so heavy that it defeats the purpose. I measured the heel, it's 5.5 inches which is pretty high but I have other 5.5 inch boots that I can wear all day...Read more
