Is the Gerty good for all-day wear?

It has a cushioned footbed with arch support, but the high stiletto heel makes it better for shorter days and events than for standing all day.

How tall is the shaft?

The shaft measures 15.3 inches, so it reaches the knee on most wearers. Check your calf circumference, since the fit is described as snug.

Buyers are split. Many take their usual size, but several with wider feet say the pointed toe runs narrow and size up.

A side zipper runs up the shaft, so you zip into the boot rather than pulling it on.

The rubber outsole gives grip, but the suede upper stains in wet weather. Treat it with a suede protector and keep it for dry days.

The Gerty has a sharper, dressier stiletto profile but less stability and comfort than a block-heel boot, which suits walking and long wear better.
