I'm a tall girl so when I was in high school I never really learned to walk in heels because I was already so much taller than everybody else.  The problem for me is now, although I really want to wear tall heels, I just don't tend to find them comfortable; they either hurt the balls of my feet or I feel really wobbly and unstable.  I was thrilled to find these because they are tall but I feel comfortable and confident in them.  Although they look as if they might be a bit heavy they're actually really light.  Honestly, I can actually run in these shoes..not like a workout run...but certainly across the street type of running.  I have to say that they look as great as the feel.  So, if you're heel phobic give these babies a try because chances are good they'll work beautifully for you.

I would be absolutely ecstatic about these shoes EXCEPT about the 4th time I wore them one of the grommeted eyes for the lace popped out.  I did take it to a shoe repair place and sadly the one that came off can't be reused and they don't have replacements that are exactly the same.  I did have it fixed and I don't think the problem is too noticeable to others but it really bugs me.  This being said, I haven't had trouble with any of the others falling off so maybe this one was just flawed.
