i actually bought a pair of these about a month ago to wear out for my birthday! the heel is pretty high (i believe it's a four inch heel, and i'm 5'10" so i didn't really need the extra height!) and they were fairly comfortable. i wouldn't suggest wearing them if you plan on doing any drinking (i learned the hard way LOL). after a few hours my feet were aching, but they did look really cute on! i found they run true to size and they also look really adorable with a pair of black tights or leggings.
