These shoes are attractive and comfortable (if you don't spend much time on your feet), so I'd definitely recommend them for occasional casual wear. However, if you do any serious walking or standing, these aren't the shoes for you. I got them back in April, and they felt good for about a month, but have since started showing distinct signs of wear in the arches (notice the creases in the photos), making my feet feel like they are leaning into one another. The light material that makes them so comfortable just can't provide any serious support.
