I stalked these boots on amazon for awhile, and then when they were marked down to $38, I couldn't resist.  They're a great, comfortable, very sexy boot.  Can't wait to wear them.  The heel is high, although the platform makes it comfortable to walk in.  There is felt on the bottoms, which makes them a little slippery to walk in, but I'm going to remove it, per the suggestion of one of the other reviewers.  The boot is rather narrow.  I am normally a size 7 or 7 1/2 - I did not size down, I stuck with the 7 1/2.  They are a little too long, but my feet are wide, so i think a 7 would've been too small for me.  My only concern is that the boots are made of cloth, not leather, and so the material is not very substantial.
