These shoes are super cute and comfortable and they have great traction. I normally wear a size 8 in women's, but I ordered a size up in these because they run a bit small. Got the men's size 7 and they fit like a glove! I can stand and walk all day at work--no problem--and my feet don't hurt at the end of the day. The solid black is simple and the design is classic, just how I wanted. I also like the way they say "Tiger" on the heels and how the gum is just visible on the front.
