This is a great walking shoe for anyone who has trouble with narrow heels or heel slippage.  This particular shoe model has an angled back portion and a deeply padded "vee" shaped heel padding that keeps feet in the shoe securely.  The toe box is roomy and works well with cushioned athletic socks.  I love that these are so light, yet still give great stability and I find them comfortable for hour long walks.  These are trimmed in very hot pink, almost a neon color - festive or gaudy - depends on your taste, but for comfort they are really a great shoe over all.
