There was a point in time where these were out of stock and I panicked. I have plantar facsitis and have a hard time finding low profile shoes. With these shoes I can pull out the sole, replace them with my custom inserts made by my podiatrist, and still fit my foot comfortably inside. They're great with jeans and acceptable enough with work pants if you have a job where you have to keep it business casual. I also wear them EVERY DAY and they hold up really well.
