Bought because wanted a ~2.5-3" heel dress pump, and reviews said about that tall. This shoe has a 4" heel with a 1/2" platform, so actually a 3.5" height diff. A little too tall for me, so will have to return. Toe box is a bit tight while my heel is loose - if I were to keep, would definitely need to add heel grips to keep from falling off. Very cute shoe though, exactly like the picture, and I like them so much that despite not being willing to wear them for long events or work, I want to find a reason to keep them.
