I had looked for a nude heel everywhere!! I thought 5 1/2 in'' would be OK because i measured my other heels i have & the tallest i had was 4 1/2 & i thought what's an inch, but i couldn't even walk in these when i received them. That's why i rated it 4 stars. So i had to return them for a refund because they just won't work for me but GREAT product........if they weren't so tall. (I felt like i was going to tip over).
