I absolutely love them ....I have two more. They are very comfortable and am thrilled for the first time in a very long time I don't need a heal pad (great for my small heals). Love the design. I wore these shoes in an absolute down pour and my feet and socks were totally dry (even after walking into a major puddle of water).  My feet felt secure and I did not slip even once on the saturated pavement.  I actually look forward to the rain so I can show these shoes off.
