Do not take this as a review of Dr. Scholl's shoes because they are generally fantastic shoes. I own 6 pairs of the brands' heels. These ones were just not what I had in mind. They are too high and the soles are too hard so when you wear them you are very unsure of your footing as you cannot tell when you are actually making good solid contact because all you feel is the shoe sole itself. I walk in heels all day every day - including on weekends when I am wearing shorts (that is just the way I am) and yet I cannot walk assuredly in these heels.<br />They would be good for someone who is VERY short and needs the height and just wants to walk very short distances. But not good for someone wanting to walk around in them all day on steps and different terrains.
