My favorite shoe by Jessica Simpson is the Calie pump, which is the exact same shoe without the front platform. I broke my ankle several months ago and am no longer able to arch my foot into a 4" heel. I'm limited to 3.5" arch now. This Tanealy pump heel at the tallest point is 4.75" and the front platform is 1.25", so that leaves an arch of only 3.5". Barely made it, but that last .5" makes all the difference for me regarding pain levels. If you are a Jessica Simpson wearer, these are as true to size in length and are comfy when they are on as her other shoes are. The sole is rubber so it helps prevent slipping. They are very well put together. I still love the Calie pump more, but I still love these. I got this pair in black patent. I might have to get the burgundy and taupe colors now.
