The style of this shoe is very appealing and although it has a very high heel, the heel is substantial, not at all spindly, which would make it difficult to walk if it were a shoe with a lesser heel.  However, my problem was with the fit of the shoe -- the left one was particularly loose-fitting in the heel.  I have never had issues with fit like this; when I have had fit issues with a shoe, it's always because it's too narrow or too short in length. Not until I encountered this shoe, have I ever had an issue with too much room in the heel of a shoe, and in particular, only one shoe!  I'm chalking it up to a quality-control issue. I really wanted to be able to keep these shoes, but for $100, it's too much money to spend on shoes that aren't quite right, so I sent them back.
