I ordered these as replacement shoes for similar shoes i've had for a long time that were wore out.  I searched a long time on Amazon and settled on these ones as the most affordable, comfortable (from the reviews and the looks of them) and style.  They are in fact fairly comfortable. I think they're the perfect height-just enough to give you some height but not too much you feel like you're teetering on stilts.  I did develop a large blister on my big toe from them after a day of walking around, so they're definitely not meant for lots of movement, but a regular day they are fine. I wear them all the time-definitely worth it.  They seem really well built as well.
