I had been searching for months for shoes like these.  I am going on a trip and want to pack light so I needed a shoe that was super comfortable and could also be worn with pants or skirts.  These are very well made and comfortable.  They are real leather which looks and feels nice.  The ankle strap is velcro and adjustable which I appreciate because a lot of shoes are too loose to be comfortable for me.  This strap should accommodate everybody.  The cork looking sole is also substantial and adds comfort.  I thought it might look weird - but it is fine.  I have worn these all day and had zero complaints.
