The platform on these slide are extremely cushy...making them very comfortable. I absolutely love the maroon color. I sized down because I's gotten a previous pair a few years ago in a W7 and they were too big. I ended up gifting them to someone (( didn't want to) who wears an 8.5. So when I saw these, I ordered them in a size W6 and they are perfect.

I bought the slides for my wife. Because of an ankle injury the platform makes the slides comfortable while others have not been.
