Someone just posted that they were pulling the trigger on these shoes and I'm thinking of doing it too--they're at a great price now (and Boston has a new Doc Martens store, so I can try 'em on if they have my size!) I'm just wondering, those of you who are wearing them (beautifully), are you always comfortable with a 3"-plus heel, or is it this shoe that's particularly stable and comfy? I'm such a wuss when it comes to heels. Otherwise, it's a question of seeing exactly how high up on my calf they reach.

Also this sounds silly but with the Martens not coming in half sizes (I'm an 8.5), I wonder if I will slide forward and downward in a heel if I go up in size. Maybe an insert would fix that.
