Carrson heels: are amazing! They are definitely not for beginners since it has a 4in. Heel but I find them comfortable. Not for a lot of walking but more pleasant than some of my more expensive shoes that are same style. They have a little cushion at ball of feet that I think helps a lot. And they look amazing on. I got mine in black and I think they are very versatile. I love that the sole is black-matte which I think helps a bit with grip. The strap that goes around ankle is a bit thin but so far its holding up well. I went by the Steve Madden size chart and fit was perfect.
