This is so well made and supple. The heel-height is perfect, not too tall and just tall enough.  I use these as my "commuter" shoes and walk in them every day at least 2 miles. They are holding up well after 6 months of wear. That wear includes rain, sludge, snow, and other city junk. i'm so happy with this purchase.

I was hesitant at first, with the higher price, but I that was unfounded and I wish I had bought them sooner. They are worth every penny.
