I have tried several pairs of Demonias. The Emily style is too heavy and short. Bratty and Swing are as bad as wearing high heels and my toes always get smushed to the front of the shoe. The Damned is okay but the toe box is NOT very generous. Trashville is okay. But these Rangers are heavenly! I can go to the Goth Bar and dance all night while still looking tall and hot. The chains are a little noisy. You get used to it. Or you can take them off with the little clips. These are 10 out of 10 the holy grail of platforms. I have the shorter pair but the tall ones are more comfy. I'm a 9.5 women's and the size 8 men's fit perfectly. My only complaint: my annoying teen has stolen them already!

My goal for my first Demonia shoe was knee high, at least a little platform, and some tread so I can wear them in inclement weather and stay warm and safe. They are a fantastic everyday boot for me. I feel so tall and badass and there's no discomfort of a heel so I can walk around and work all day with no problem! These ARE sized for men however, so my small feet are a little loose but wearing double socks solves that issue for me. There is LOTS of toe room so if you have bigger or longer toes I think you can count on these. The chains do make a little noise but they are also easy to remove if you want to be a little more discrete lol

I love these they actually fit on my thicker calves. One thing I do wish is that the laces were longer, I had to replace them shortly after they arrived. Still love!
