I just received them (Black and Brown) in the mail today. I tried them both on without nylons. Very comfortable heel. Has cushion when you walk. Very sturdy heel. The color will wear well and go with anything. The thickness of heel is perfect for those of us that are used to wearing heels, anything over 1". I am wearing them around the home and they are comfortable, I believe will need no break in period. I have a higher instep on my left foot than right and normally I would have to stretch my left shoe, any shoe at the toes just a bit to accommodate my higher instep. I do have to admit, I may not have to stretch the toe area at all for the first time in 42 years.

Very comfortable stylish, looks like it'll last long. For the money we pay for comfort, I sure hope so. I don't normally practice paying more than $40 on any shoe regardless of reviews. But when you work on your feet all day and are short (4'11") and want a little extra height but MUST have comfort. Try these shoes. They are true to size. I normally wear a 5.5 in heels depending on make. Glad I purchased these shoes and would recommend them to a friend in a heart beat. Minus my higher than normal in step. :) Thank you Amazon for making good products. I wish all were as nice as these.
