I love these shoes! I bought them in red first and found them to be SO comfortable and absolutely flattering on my big (size 11) feet that I immediately ordered them in black.  I wear these at least once a week and get compliments on them every time I wear them.  The heel is just under 3" but the shoe is easy to walk in and the footbed is very supportive and comfortable (I walk about 1/4 mile a day from bus to work). These look great with jeans as well as dress pants.  Something to note - Clark shoes are very unpredictable on width. I found that these run slightly to significantly wider than some Clark's I've tried.
