"I am not one to wear heels, so any heel 4-inches or higher is a little bit much for me, but I love these shoes. They are a short boot, which works out well because my feet do not slip out of them. I do not ever feel like I am going to trip or fall, which I do very often while wearing regular shoes (that's just the clumsiness in me). I have this shoe in whiskey and it goes with EVERYTHING. I was afraid of this shoe limiting my outfit choices, but it really does go with everything. I have worn this heel for 5+ hours and although I do not suggest going longer than that, my feet were fine. I love it!"
