Brand new heels- GORGEOUS! I purchased for my 2024 holiday party. I added weight adjusting insoles and walked around them in my house only to find out that 5 inch heels are too high for me. I’m a solid 4.5 inch girly! Since I walked around them in my house for probably about 20 minutes trying to adjust, I used 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol on the inside of the shoe and bottom just to clean them right before this video. As you can see, the alcohol left a couple of weird lines on the black bottom of the shoe, almost like it took off a little bit of the polish. But it’s literally the bottom of the shoe and it will get scuffed up the first time you wear them outside. I’m leaving the weight shifting insoles on because they are invisible when you are wearing the shoe, and you will definitely need them for these heels. But they are removable if you don’t want them. They’re just brand new so I didn’t want to throw them away. I am a true 8 1/2 shoe and these shoes fit perfectly .
