Got these in white and they worked perfectly for me for a 60s themed event. Got tons of compliments on them. While they are in keeping with that era, they do have a slightly higher, more flattering heel than the typical chunky go-go boots making them sexier as well. I wore these for nearly 12 hours and never had a problem - easy on and off with the side zipper and comfortable all evening. If you need something like this, go for it.
