I don't wear heels often and have never found them to be comfortable. However, as soon as I tried these one, the cushioning feels very comfortable, and I haven't even started walking yet. When I look at the soles inside the shoes, as it turns out, the shoes are made by an Adidas brand. No wonder the cushions are much better than other heels I've tried. Decent heights, not too tall, not too low. True to size. Ordered the shoes in dark browns and they look nice. Very happy with the purchase.
