Let me start off by saying I have not worn heels since my senior prom in 2011 also, I've never been able to really walk in them either. I bought these for a wedding and they are so amazing. I wear a size 7 1/2 and got a size 7. I think next time I will get a 6 1/2 because my feet are so skinny it made the heels a little difficult to keep on easily. Because of the memory foam I wore these heels for 6 hours comfortably. That was with dancing and running around all night. The heel is the perfect size not too short but not too tall. I highly reccomend these for someone who doesn't like to wear heels or isn't very good at walking in them. I bought the tan color and will definitely be getting more colors. The best part is I didn't even have to break them in they were so comfortable the very first time I wore them.
