I bought these shoes to wear during Nursing school, which I begin this coming fall. I was looking for a nice, white sneaker that didn't look like an "old lady" shoe, and was cushioned and light. These shoes delivered on all fronts! They are stylish, very comfortable while standing, and SUPER light while walking. The mesh top also allows my feet to breathe, which is a plus. I don't think I will be disappointed once I begin clinicals!
