**Mixed feelings.**
**Mixed feelings.** First of all, the shoes are shipped from China, although the customer service is friendly and responsive. Depending on your country, you may also have to pay additional customs clearance fees, which could be around $10–20. Also, keep in mind that the shoes do not provide as much height as advertised. I bought two pairs. The first pair, a pair of sneakers advertised as adding **7 cm**, actually adds about **4.5–5 cm**. That said, these sneakers are incredibly comfortable, very lightweight, and feel great to wear, you almost forget you have them on. They just don't deliver the promised height. The second pair was a pair of derby shoes advertised as adding **9 cm**. They add around **6 cm** (allowing for a measuring error of about 0.5 cm). However, they are quite heavy, and the internal lift creates a steep incline, making them feel more like you're wearing heels. So, the sneakers are very comfortable but don't provide the advertised height, while the derby shoes give a bit more height but are still far from the claimed 9 cm and are much less comfortable. Overall, I'm not sure how to feel. At around **$150 per pair**, I expected the advertised height claims to be more accurate. If they were about half the price, I would probably be very satisfied.
