Oh, darlings, let’s talk about the Essex Glam Platform Block Strappy Sandals— these babies are pure va-va-voom! Slipping into these 3.9-inch (10 cm) block heel beauties with a subtle platform feels like stepping into a spotlight. The faux suede finish (I got the black pair) is so lush and touchable, it’s practically begging to be noticed. The strappy design with that adjustable ankle strap? It’s like they were made to wrap your feet in a flirty little embrace, showing just enough skin to turn heads.
I wore these to a rooftop party, and let me tell you, they’re a vibe. The block heel gives you that sexy height without the wobble, so you can strut, dance, or pose like nobody’s business. They’re surprisingly comfy too— I was sashaying around for hours with zero complaints. The crossover straps add this sultry, elegant touch that pairs perfectly with a flowy dress or some tight jeans for that “I woke up like this” fierceness.
A couple of notes: the fit can be a bit tricky— some say they run wide or the straps are loose, so if you’ve got narrower feet, tie them tight or consider sizing down. Also, a few reviews mentioned the ankle strap could use more holes for adjustability, but I didn’t have an issue. These sandals are a total steal for the price— chic, sturdy, and ready to make you feel like the main character. I’m already dreaming about grabbing them in red for my next hot date
