I purchased these for my daughter to try on with her wedding dress. She adores them but unfortunately the bow catches on the dress. She is using another pair for her wedding but keeping these to use as a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding as of all the (almost 50) pairs of silver shoes she has tried on not only are these the most comfortable but also made her feel like a princess so really wanted to keep them. The heel height is perfect, not to high, not too low. She is 5'11 and only three inches shorter than her soon to be husband so she like to keep her heel height under 3". She wears a 9 M and the 9s fit her perfectly.
