I bought these for my daughter who just became a medical student. She was told she needed to replace her black running shoes with stain resistant white ones. Not what she wanted fashion-wise and when we went shopping she couldn't find anything she liked and thought were comfortable. I ordered these in an attempt to meet the requirement in the interim. When they arrived my daughter absolutely loved them. She said they look good and they are extremely comfortable. Did I mention she is 6-months pregnant so being on her feet is tough on her?
