"This shoe is unbelievable. The minute I got it, I went online and ordered the black. It fits my high arch perfectly without feeling like I am thrown forward. It looks deceivingly high, but only feels like a two inch heel. I wear between a 8-1/2 or 9 and the 8-1/2 feels right. Some people say it is too wide. I don't think I have a wide foot, but sometimes shoes are too narrow. If you are even considering this shoe...get it."
