Good height without being impractical, and available in my favorite color (orange!). I wore these when traveling recently and had no difficulty walking through the airline terminal, boarding a shuttle, and traversing the distance to the rental car desk. They definitely brightened up my jeans and t-shirt ensemble. My only complaint is that the footbed is very smooth/shiny, so your foot will get slippery and shift a little if it's hot outside. The wide strap near the toes keeps this from being a very big problem. Overall, I really like them.
