I usually cannot comfortably wear heels over 1" but I wanted some sandals that were a bit dressy and would give me a little extra height.  These are perfect for me and surprisingly,they needed no break-in time and the bottoms are not slippery nor do they make strange noises on polished tile.  They run true to size and are the lightest weight sandals I have ever worn. These look great with trousers, skirts, and jeans and are well-designed: Every step feels cushioned and stable.  I'm very pleased.
