It’s a kick to be near four inches taller but a shoe that gives you that kind of height needs real good support and this shoe does not have that. While wearing them you need to be conscious of how you walk so as not to fall down . The top material is very soft and stretches . I guess they are just for hanging out and not for dancing or walking a long distance, maybe going to a party. They are not for wearing for an extended period of time, after a couple of hours they began to hurt.
