As a stay-at-home mom, and former professional, I have had a hard time getting back into heels, when every day life allows me to dress in comfortable flats.  I just happened across these shoes as I was looking for something cute yet wearable in the Seattle climate (wet).  Received these today and wore them to the bus stop to pick up my kiddo.  I had virtually every adult female person oooooo'ing and ahhhh'ing over my shoes, saying how hot I looked today.  I can imagine wearing these around, even to grocery store, in my stay-at-home mom life.  They are a higher heel, but since they have a platform toe, not really all the high.  I also have wide feet (E Width).  I'm a size 7.5 in length.  I ordered these in an 8, and they fit perfect.  Not feeling squished at all in the toe box.  Just buy them, you won't regret it!  Oh, and love that they are a synthetic, wipable, non-absorbing material.  They will walk right through wet parking lots, no problem.
