SPECS:

The heel is approximately 1 7/8" and the footbed is quite thick and squishy.
The suede-bottomed sole is quite flexible.

ABOUT SUEDE SOLES:

These are made with suede soles which are wonderful to dance on but require occasional upkeep (it's usually a problem with catching the edge on a piece of hardwood that is sticking up on the dance floor).
If you need to re-glue the suede many people just use crazy glue gel. We have also found that commercially produced shoe repair glue (available from the shoe repair shop in your local mall) works great.
You're not supposed to wear suede soles outside - but every swing dancer knows that you can make suede soles faster by wearing them everywhere to get them dirty, then dance in them until they're shiny on the bottom.
If you prefer them less zippy you can dull the "mirror finish" they can get by roughing them up with a wire brush periodically. Just remember that when they get wet in the rain they won't spin very easily (conversely - if they're too slippery just spill your drink on the floor and step in it!).

SIZING TIPS:

Most women who tried this shoe on said that it felt like it fit a little larger than their usual size. Also, because it has a slightly pointed toe, some reported that it felt a little narrow. Because this style has a shoelace closure - you can customize the width a bit by loosening or tightening them.

Most women know which two sizes they fit best (like 6.5 & 7 or 8.5 & 9). To figure out which size you'll fit in these:

Narrow to Normal width = you'll probably wear the smaller of the two sizes you usually fit.
Wide feet = you'll probably fit your normal size or one half size larger than the two sizes you usually fit. Because the shoelaces are fairly high on the vamp they don't always work with wide feet.
