Okay - so I purchased these boots during the Thanksgiving sale on Amazon.  I was so into the brand, after just purchasing my first pair a few days before, that I ordered these (and 1 more).  The height of the boots are about 3 inches below the bend of my knee.  The heel is pretty cool, because it's kind of hour glass shaped.  The height was perfect for me.  I actually used an athletic insole to help pad the heel of my foot because the boots label was bothering me.  I was also able to wear light ankle socks .  Like any boot, extended wear can become bothersome, but overall the boots are very comfortable and true to size.  Oh, I love that they came with an spare heel cap!  The material is soft and the details of the boots from the heel to the buttons are great!  Love these boots and the timely delivery from Amazon.
