5 stars, if it's more comfortable. It is not uncomfortable shoes, any high heel would be uncomfortable after 2h. So i mean, this is not anything special. So you know what to expect, comfort wise. It is very very very unique looking, i got a lots of complements wearing them. I often asked where i got them, and i think some famous (thus expensive) designer makes similar shoes, and some of them thought they are from the brand..well let them think so :)
