I have owned several of Eastland's shoes, and love this style too.  This shoe does have a higher heel than the other Eastlands I wear, but they are still very comfortable.  If I have a day I know I will be doing ALOT of walking, I might pick one of the smaller heeled pair, but have never had a problem with these.  Easy on, easy off, and easy to wear all day.  I have them in brown, and am thinking about ordering them in black too.  GREAT brand of shoe!  Another nice style.  They were actually a replacement for another Eastland shoe I used to wear that was discontinued, and these don't disappoint.
