I purchased these in white. I needed sneakers that I can wear with my bootcut jeans (casual day at work) and these were perfect. They gave me the perfect height. Make sure your jeans are long enough to cover most of the heel or else you will look like you're wearing peewee herman shoes...LOL..... BUT overall they looked great. Finally bootcut jeans and sneakers. Suprisingly they were really comfortable. One thing too look out for is size. These run small...I'm normally a size 7 and the size 7.5 fit perfect.
