As a women that does not and can not walk in heels these are lovely. Years ago I had a pair of Hush Puppies heels that my dog ate. So when I needed shoes that were a bit dressy and not flats I immediately started looking for Hush Puppies. They are so comfortable to walk in and stand in for hours. Perfectly comfortable to stand in a receiving line and shake a couple hundred sweaty flu virus laddened hands of NJROTC cadets for a NJROTC Ball!! Beautiful and perfect!
