"There are few shoes that work on my pitiful flat feet. Although these feel good and are pretty, the height of the heel area is not enough to help my flat feet. In other words, I thought the 1" heel would be enough to lift my heel and compensate for my flat footedness. Alas, no. (sigh) Great shoes anyway, good fit, and pretty. But I will be returning them due to them being flatter than I need to make my flat feet appear less flat....higher heels help."
