I own these sandals in both colors (black and titanium)and I find them amazingly comfortable and stylish enough to get through all but the most dressy occasions. I first purchased the titanium color over a year ago. The soft silver-gold/beige-grey shade is the perfect neutral summer color that goes with just about everything. The stacked heel is 3" high. These sandals contain many "hidden" comfort features. The heel strap as well as the strap across the instep are adjustable. The foot-bed is heavily padded and molded to cradle the foot. There is a significant arch support that no one can see but you will appreciate after wearing these shoes all day.  The sole is durable rubber. The straps are padded and do not rub. The fit is true to size. I wish Aetrex offered other women's "dress" styles as attractive as these....I'd buy them in a minute.
