Lemme tell ya - these boots are awesome! Even wearing them with jeans and a tee shirt feels "dressed up!". Got tons of compliments the first time I wore them. The height of the heel is perfect, and they are not uncomfortable. The inside bottom (were your foot touches) felt a little hard when I first put them on, so I thought I would just wear them around the house to see if they became painful, but, Nope! after about 30 minutes, I forgot I had them on and went out shopping. After 3 hours out and about, still no pain. I will definitely be keeping these beauties!
