Ah you ladies are the best! Definitely helping me feel more confident to wear these ^^ I don't really have much experience with this shaft height for booties on myself so I'm happy to hear this gap amount is fine (and totally makes sense with the whole, you know, needing room to move thing).
Angie, not too surprised but still awesome to hear
Rita, I sized up a half-size as Angie and others suggested. They are a wee bit roomy but I think would be a wee bit tight had I ordered my normal size; my heel is narrow and toe box wider, and the fit with the half size increase is perfect.
Carole, sorry to hear they're above your heel max! For what it's worth, to me these feel lower than 2.25", with the wedge being fairly stable, and the footbed is cushioned.
Janet, that was something I was worried about as well (before ordering). Do post your pair! Did you order from Zappos or Endless? The Endless photos looked a bit different but I just figured it was due to shoe variation.
Heather, love that idea, thank you! I need to make a list of all the great ideas you have and keep them in my closet so when I'm feeling uncreative, I can pop one of them on
