I've wanted demonias for years, and I finally had the money to get some! these ones especially are just intense enough that they can fit in with a really hardcore outfit but I can also dress them down with different ones. They make me so much taller, I get constant compliments, and I feel insanely powerful in them! Also, I was totally prepared for these to kill my feet but theyre actually not that bad! for something like school or an office job, they really arent an issue, but I would be wary if you're going somewhere that you need to be on your feet a lot. Also, I'm usually a 7 1/2 so I got an 8, and theyre mostly totally comfy, so dont worry too much about the lack of half sizes.
