I do like these shoes! They did give me a hotspot on my heel after the first day wearing them, and they squeak quite humorously as I walk through the industrial linoleum floors of the school I work in.  I haven't decided if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I certainly can't sneak up on anyone with these on, but they aren't "sneakers," after all. Then there is the added benefit of cracking myself up when I hear them, so there is that.  Other than that first hotspot on my heel, they are otherwise very comfortable. I am wearing them with knee high socks today because it is cold, but these will be cute with bare feet as the weather warms up, too. Adorbs.
