I love high heels because I'm short, but after about 5 minutes, I just want to take them off. These give a lot of height, yet are actually comfortable to wear and walk in, creating a great line and making my legs look long and slim. The opening is larger than I thought it would be, meaning they fit nicely under boot-cut jeans but not in skinny jeans, so have to be worn out, but then gape a bit around the leg. I wish they were  more fitted around the leg as they have a side zipper which would make them easy to get on and would look better with skinny jeans or a dress and tights. The toe is also a little more rounded than I had imagined. I ordered these in black and brown. The brown boots are not the rich brown color that they appear to be online, and the dull stamped pattern seems cheap-looking, so those went back. These boots run true to size and accomodate a regular sock.
