I have a hard time buying shoes because *everything* seems to hurt my feet. These felt a little stiff the first couple times I wore them, but now they are AMAZING. They are so comfortable, don't rub anywhere, and don't hurt! I am thinking of buying another pair just in anticipation of when mine wear out. I've had them over a year now and wear them to work all the time. They are not a very dressy shoe--but work great as a nice casual. The tan color goes with everything. Love these shoes!!!!
