This is my second pair.  The first lasted four years and I only passed them on to someone because even though they remained my all time favorite comfortable shoes (teaching, walking miles, etc.), they were beginning to look like I was a Hobbit. This new pair is classic and chic and goes with skinny jeans and roomy sweaters, as well as tights or leggings with skirts,  for the last days of winter and early spring.  I purchased these because the price ($67) was a fabulous deal compared to what I paid for my first pair in the shoe store.  But I'd pay that higher price in a heartbeat if those were the only pair on Earth.
