text: So I actually considered keeping these  and went back and forth. I think they're absolutely adorable in person, but found the fit to lack a bit. I need a good, black/neutral travel shoe to wear on long days, traveling through airports, etc. I liked the idea of these having a heel although to me, it's not that noticeable to the wearer of the shoe - or to other people for that matter. Just looks like the rubber around the edge is higher. I think the height is negligible - which is a good thing as you can wear this comfortably. Yet I agree with a few other posters that the heel slips quite a bit. Yet it didn't feel like the shoe was going to fall off as it's fitted through the arch and toes. I have pretty narrow feet so this was wide on me. I ended up settling with a more expensive shoe - the FitFlop Women's Due Flat. Way more comfortable and stylish - a bit more pricey, but I'll have that shoe for years.
