When I say they were just too high for me, I don't mean they were uncomfortable.  I hardly wear heels, and never this height (usually only 2 to 3 inch heels), and found these pretty comfortable given the height.  However, it just made my body look out of proportion - calf to hip ratio.  Compounding my concerns was the front of the shoe - it is not flat on the ground so you kind of "rock" when you go forward.  It made going down the stairs very interesting to say the least.  I loved the design and I have no complaints about the quality, but I had to return.  Amazon's free return on these was hassle-free.  I remember when they did not have free return on shoes, but they do now, hurray! I have no hesitation about ordering shoes from them from now on.
