First off it is important if you are NOT used to talk heels, you will be uncomfortable. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE LOVE!!! I am 5'2" with these on I am 5'8". To me they are comfortable, a little big in toe areas but with my socks it is perfect. I am hard on heels, but these hold up well. I half expected them to fall apart while I was down in California, but they did great.
