Size fits just right, which is something I LOVE Shoetopia for, I can always trust theirs is a true 41/42. Definitely taller than it looks in the pictures! Can't express how terrific it was to try them on first time! However, the finish doesn't look quite as good, and I feel as though the straps could snap off at any given moment. Will have to try them on to test their endurance. Otherwise, they are beautiful platforms, 4/5!
