I have ordered them, because:

a. I think they are fab
b. They were £29 reduced from £110
c. err..can't think of any other reason.

I shall most probably try them on, love them but realise I can't walk in them and send them back again.

Ooh I looooooove them :) And Carvela/Kirt Geiger in general. They'll not be too bad to walk in because of the platform and the thick heel. I have some almost exactly the same, but New Look so not as nice, and they're my go-to gig shoe as they're so easy to walk in so less chance of falling over on stage

Also they're £77 now!!!! Are you an unusual size that they wanted to shift?

NC fail! Darn it.

They're £77 now, you got a bargain!

Blimey! If you love them, buy them!

I may have worn them 20+yrs ago but not now. So if you're young they'll look great. I used to find Carvella/KG shoes really stiff to walk in though.

I'm not young at all..I'm nearly 43!

I actually got them for £29 from Selfridges!

They still have them if you are interested!

OMG I might get them. I rarely have any occasion to wear heels these days though...

Me neither Bendy!!!

DO IT!!!

(you can always send them back if they are really uncomfortable)

Bloody hell they are fugly!

They're gorgeous! Doubt I could walk in them though!

OMG they are sooooo high. If you can walk in them and love them why not? Personally i think they are ugly.

Oh wow. They're real ankle breakers.

I hate them but then I'm 5'11" and if I wore them I'd look like a drag queen.

..and here they are!

I love them..I think they are fabulous and I envisage me posing on a red carpet in them at a glittering film premiere

Back in the real world, they are true ankle breakers, and I'd probably end up in A&E, not v glam, so they are going back, but I just had to try them on

I also have these, which by comparison are super comfy!

One pair of daft platform shoes is enough methinks

What size did you order ( size 5 is out of stock!)

They look better on than in the first picture.

I got size 6.

They really are incredibly high as the platform is huge.

You should definitely keep them.
I bought these
www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/carvela-alfred-block-heeled-lace-up-shoes_854-10004-6175454109/?previewAttribute=Wine for the same reasons that you bought yours.
I am keeping mine on the basis of they look sensible therefore they must be,even if my shins hurt just standing in them.

I generally love KG shoes but thought they looked horrible in the picture. Very clunky and as a pp brought up, likely to be worn by a man in drag!
However, they look really lovely on your feet, not manly at all, and I find KGs really comfortable :)
Enjoy your new shoes

Thanks CakeNinja but sadly they are going back.

I'd never wear them as they are just too high to walk in.

I must have missed the drag queen jibe! I thought they may look like lap dancer shoes, but actually they are nice and would looked I think with skinny jeans.

How girls walk in shoes that high, let alone dance in them beats me!

Noooo
Gutted, I love them! I actually find platforms really comfortable although don't have any as high as this to avoid the teetering that so many girls adopt!
And I tend to get cabs door to door everywhere on nights out so walking is kept to a minimum.
Ah well, at least you have the lovely photos!

In other news, I ordered a pair of these too from 7 for All Mankind

Again, either going to be fabulous or Rod Stewart. I got them for £85 which is still pricey, but I have been after a pair of rock and roll trousers for a while, and liked the look of these.

Oooo dear! I've just bought these

the shoes?
