I purchased these for a wedding. Although the wedding hasn't taken place as yet, I try them on every now and again with the dress to make sure they are what I really want to wear. I usually wear 3inches or higher, but these are perfect for the evening as it will be a long evening. standing and walking around, so the heel is perfect for me. It has somewhat of a support and the fact that it's an open toe, it gives the feet a little bit more comfort and ease. I love them. They are classy and dainty at the same time. I wanted the all black, but they were sold out. These are great because it's a black and white wedding.
