How much height does the platform sole add?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Soles squeak
Sometimes, moisture trapped between the sole layers can cause squeaking. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder under the insole if accessible.
Difficulty walking due to platform height
Adjust your walking gait slightly, taking care to land more evenly on the sole. Practice walking in them for shorter durations until you feel comfortable.
