"I needed something to wear with my work pants that are just a bit too long for flats. These are a nice mid-size heel height that work perfectly. They are comfier than the regular pair of heels I wear to work. I usually wear a 7 but sized down to a 6.5 with no issues. My toes are not pinched at all. I got the black which is lightly pebbled in texture, but still a true back."
