Okay, let me tell you about these booties – they’re like the Goldilocks of heels. Not too tall, not too flat, just right at 1.6 inches. I was skeptical because I usually avoid heels like the plague (hello, aching feet), but these? I wore them to a full day of errands and forgot I even had a heel. The stacked block heel gives just enough lift to feel polished without the wobble.

The zipper detail is cute without being over-the-top, and the faux leather looks way more expensive than the price tag. I will say – if you’re rough on shoes, these might show scratches (my dog definitely tested that theory when he mistook them for chew toys). But for everyday wear? They’ve held up surprisingly well.

Now about fit: they run true to size but lean narrow. My friend with wide feet had to return hers, so take note if you need extra room. The ankle hug is perfect though – no awkward gaping like some boots do. And can we talk about how they’re partially lined with recycled materials? Little eco-win there.

Only gripe? After a few weeks, one boot developed a faint click in the heel when walking. Not a dealbreaker for me at this price point, but worth mentioning.

Final verdict: If you want booties that transition from work to weekend without murdering your feet, these are it. I’m already eyeing another pair in black.
