I love these boots. The other reviews are correct in that the heel is pretty tall. I added a shoe pad in the front of the shoe and also wear thick socks. With the extra padding I can strut for hours in these boots. The boots run true to size. I bought my normal size -8 1/2 and as stated before,I am still able to wear a thick sock and be comfortable. The leather on the boot is very supple and not stiff. Looks great with dresses and skinny jeans.
