These shoes are so very pretty! The heel is a very comfortable height. My only complaint is that the shoe is tight around the ankle and toes. I wear a 9.5 and that's what I ordered. I'm sure the 10 would have been too big. I was able to stretch out the ankle over night, but nothing can be done about the toes. Regardless, I was able to wear them the entire night without much complaining. I highly recommend these shoes!
