These are fabulous. So comfortable. The heel is just high enough to make them look chic without raising the angle of your foot to an uncomfortable angle. They look nice with a dress or jeans. They fit very well with hose, and you can also tuck pants into them easily. I got my usual size 8 and it is just a little bit big but not a problem. They are very well made, I expect them to last a long time. I have been wearing them in the snowy, wet weather and they are holding up great, just wipe them off.
