These shoes are great.  Comfortable, stylish, two tone: bronze with shadows of brown and black.  The height of the heel is good... no sliding of the foot to the front of the shoes where the toes get jammed.  The shoe does not stress the arch of the foot.  Nonskid soles... great in most weathering conditions.  Wiggle room for toes.  Socks are no problem.  Looks good with jeans, slacks, boot cut, skirts, straight leg, and flared pants.  Don't let the heel fool ya... some heels stress the toes and arch of the foot.  This shoe I would even recommend to my mother who is 76 yrs. old.  The shoe is balanced even tho it has a heel.  You feel the height, but don't feel like you are on an incline when walking.
