Yes, they are incredibly high.  However, at 5'2", I love the added height it gives me.  I've paired it with skinny denim and a loose white T and I've also worn it with a multi-colored tunic & black tights.  Of course, aptly accessorizing both looks. ;) 

I've received many compliments, but be warned, this is not a shoe to run a marathon in, let a lone walk around in, but you can definitely have a good night on the town with 'em.  Enjoy!
