I just recently got these to go with some new polka dot Author dresses I ordered and I love them!  The description had stated that the model wore a size 7 and a size 7 fit perfect.  I am a size 7 shoe and ordered a size 7.5 and these fit perfectly. If you wanted to wear them with extra thick socks, you may want to order up a little more. Mine fit but with thick socks they would be too tight.  I wasn't sure on the heel height but they feel like they will be comfortable to stand in.  I normally wear lace-up Victorian boots and wanted something a little different for this year.  I initially was unsure on ordering these since the black on the chunky heel was so predominant but after looking at pages and pages of boots, I ordered these.  I am so glad I took a chance on these because they worked just perfect for my costume.
Review Update: After a long day of walking, these are very comfortable shoes.  I have worn them for several photo shoots and the last time I wore them I was walking on uneven terrain in a park and noticed a couple of scuffs at the end of the day.  These are very cute in person and I switched out the black laces for some red glittery ones and they looked really neat.  I am Children's Author Carey Ann Kramer and these are the boots I am wearing to advertise for the East Texas Book Bash for 2018. In the picture I am wearing a red dress and am pictured with several of my characters.  You can also see the picture on my webpage under Storytelling Events.
