I looked forward to these boots they are so stylish and look wonderful on my feet. I feel like strutting! The heel is just the right height. I don't like high heels at all. It doesn't feel like a 2 3/4 heel that is advertised. My problem is the shoe is narrow. I ordered half a size up and still it was too tight. I am returning the boots (8.5) and ordering 9.5 to see if that will give me a wider width. I love the boots. Just wish I could get them in a wide width.  I also wish they had a zipper. Putting them on involved some work.
