These shoes are incredibly comfortable. Because they have the air bubble support (or whatever it's called) on both the heel and the ball of your feet area, they don't feel like slightly elevated wedges at all! I got mine in black, and I noticed that these run a bit large. I'm normally a 7.5 for Cole Haan shoes, but the 8 fit perfectly. Only thing is, these kind of make your feet look wide, but that's very minor.
