Needed this to go with a dress for the wedding & was Very Pleased! Packaged perfect, fit like a glove & Very comfy. The chunky heel makes it so that you can be in these shoes for awhile if need be & not have them hurt your feet. Its about 4.5 or 5 inches maybe, but its not too high & good to walk in with chunky heel. Very sophisticated shoe- now wondering how do you clean this color?...I'd say definitely purchase & it would be great in black- I think I will grab another pair!!! Oh & this is my 2nd pair of shoes from Top Mada- love their shoes
