"I had high hopes for these shoes, but was sorely disappointed (literally) when they arrived.They are beautiful, and clearly made of quality materials, but I found them very uncomfortable. There is almost no height in the front of the shoe, so the heel height on the description is the true height. The smooth interior of the shoe feels nice on the foot, but also caused my foot to slide forward -- I would need to order a half size down to keep the shoe on. I'm clearly in the minority here, as so many others seem to love these shoes. If you're like me and are desperately searching for comfortable heels, definitely give Anne Klein a try, but be prepared that you may be disappointed."
