"The heel is low enough for me to dart between meetings or out to lunch without limping or clutching at nearby furniture after 20 mins. The cut of the shoe is very elegant and flattering. I love it. With affordable shoes like these, especially with fabric at front I tend to take straight to my cobbler to replace plastic heel (before it breaks off) and add height for less scuffing at toes and a more durable sole. In addition you can use clear nail polish on fabric near toes for added scuffing barrier. These shoes will now be elevated to a long lasting and classy wardrobe staple for many years to come"
