Love the color combination. This shoe looks as it shows on-line. It roughly has a 31/4 inch heel. I prefer flats but this shoe has good heel support. I do not feel like I am sliding forward in it as like some heels make you feel. Nor do I feel a toe pinch. The only way the AK Sandya patent could have been better is if the soul had more traction and the heel was broad to the bottom. Otherwise it is a beautiful looking shoe. Sexy with skinny jeans.
