Hello! :) This last year I've started to do some online shopping from time to time, and I always find it very helpful to read reviews of the product I'm planning to buy beforehand, so I decided to start making my own reviews of my purchases! n.n
The first review I'll be posting to this blog is of this awesome pair of platform sneakers from MoLa_MoLa (found in Storenvy).

First of all, let me apologize for the awful background, I'm staying in a hotel at the moment and have yet to find a better bg for my pictures >.< Anyway, as soon as I first saw these babies I knew they'd be my next purchase, and I could finally order them on the 6/12/14. After a week I got the confirmation email saying my package had been shipped (a tracking no. was also given to me); as far as when exactly it was delivered, I'm afraid I can't tell, since I arrived at the hotel quite a while after it did. I can assure you though, it didn't take more than a month!
My first (and probably only) complaint is the packaging, since the shoes were shipped inside a shoe box with only some plastic strings tying it close. They arrived in perfect conditions though, still I think it would have been better to keep them a little more protected during the whole shipping process.
The bags the sneakers came in are a nice touch, which come in very handy for someone like me that needs to constantly take shoes and clothes from one place to another. Also, they were stuffed with plastic and cardboard on the inside so the shape wouldn't be altered.
Now for the important part of the review: the shoes. As stated/shown before they are platform sneakers with a plaid print. I paid $50 dollars for them (they cost $34 w/o the shipping fee) and from the two designs available, red plaid and blue plaid, I chose the latter.

I decided to wear them the very next day after I got them so I could see how comfortable they were when walking around for a while. I was surprised at how comfy they are, actually! When I ordered them I was slightly scared they would be heavy (because of the 7.5 cm high platforms) but that is not the case at all. The tag on the back of the sneakers can easily be hidden by tugging it in, if that bothers anyone! I should also mention the size fits perfectly (I'm a 36/ U.S 6).
While I was out shopping, several people actually complimented my shoes! Two of them even asked me where I got them from :) Also, I feel like this post has a shit ton of pictures, but this is the last one, I promise! Just wanted to show how they look from a distance:
So, to summarize, I am very pleased with this purchase. The shoes are very comfortable, with notorious nice quality, and live up to the image shown in the online store. So if you've been considering buying these, for me it's an A+ would totally recommend :D
Hope you find this helpful! It is my first time doing a review so bare with me, I promise I'll get better!!!
Thank you for reading!
