There was a lot to appreciate with this shoe, the Mephisto Women's Laser Walking Shoe.

The leather and construction was excellent.
The shoe has simple, clean lines with the flexibility of dark colored laces to better fit your foot.
The dark metallic gray leather is trendy but still a neutral.

My issue was with the "Laser" sole. The product description states the sole is rubber. In my experience usually rubber soles are quiet. However, I found walking around my house the sole was both noisy and too stiff. Perhaps a different insole/orthotic could help but at this price point I did not want to buy a new insole.
