... and these are no exception! I bought these for an event last January that would require hours of standing, followed by dancing. I had no issues wearing these comfortably all night... Key word COMFORTABLY. The taupe color has allowed me to wear them with whatever color outfit I want casual or dressy. Plus they make my feet look pretty. I measured the heel at 5.25". I normally wear 7.5 & that is what I ordered. They fit perfectly! I'd recommend these to anyone who hates shoes that hurt and are looking for a versatile neutral heel that can be dressed up or down.
