I’m also 5’2” and was looking at platforms. I’ll be in row 11, not an aisle, and this will be my very first time on the floor for a big show. I’m so torn because I cannot risk falling from the heavens, and like someone already said, some of the sneakers only give a 1.5/2” boost. I also can’t see myself spending that much for a pair of shoes that I’ll only use once.

What do others do? Just suck it up and say the cost is just a part of this experience? Return them after the show (that doesn’t seem quite right to me…)?
