The shoe itself is beautiful! The detail and handcraft is awesome.  Unfortunately, When I saw the picture, the heel seemed apropriate for the size of the shoe, but I didn't take into account that my foot is much smaller.  So the shoe is a size 6 and the heel remains the same height, making it too steep of a shoe for my taste.  I have to take tiny steps, fortunately it's considerably stable, but i'm not happy walking in them.
