I received these boots as a present from my friend! (Great friend!)

The heel is a little higher than it looks, but is comfortable to wear anyway. (Something about how round and cute and chunky the heel looks makes it appear shorter than the 3-inch height, but that doesn't matter to me, because I wear tall shoes all the time.) When I put these boots on, they make my ankles look sooo tiny and slender and delicate, especially when worn with tights. These boots are seriously made to be worn with tights of the same or similar color, because I swear I've never seen my legs look skinnier. The boot comes up right to my ankle and do not look clunky at all. They give a great silhouette from the side, and I thought that the elastic strap would make it look too sporty, but it turns out I don't notice them at all. So this boot looks really dressy with my dresses and they look equally cool and laidback when I pull my skinny jeans down over them (Seriously, insanely cool silhouette under skinny jeans).

I own several JUMP boots, and I would rate this type of heel as second in comfort. The wedges are the most comfortable and I wear them while running errands all day in the city. These heels somehow are a little less easy to wear. My feet don't hurt at the end of the day, but my calves are tired after running around the office for 8 hours. But they make my legs look so good, I just cannot resist wearing them as much as possible. LOL. I do put some gel pads into the shoes to help cushion me during the day, which helps.

Like all JUMP boots, order half a size up if you want to wear thick socks in winter weather. I own these boots in dark brown, but they are so very dark that I actually wear them with black skinny jeans and you really cannot tell that they're not black. I'm not a person who gushes like this often, but I love, love, love these shoes and how they make me feel.
