These shoes are ideal in the picture. They are super stylish and appear to be the right height. When they arrived, I immediately knew I would return them due to the fact that 1. They are sooooo high. Not practical at all. 2. There is no support from the straps so it's extremely easy to twist your ankle on them. You literally wobble when you walk. 3. The cork paper on the sides was peeled off and uneven where it was glued. Super bad quality. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
