I needed another pair of walking shoes. My normal treads are my Merrell Pace Glove minimalist shoes, but I am pregnant and my feet have grown just a bit. The Merrell fit like a glove and right now they are just too darn tight.
I would of bought another pair of them but I wanted instant gratification and there are not any stores close to me so that I could try them on.
I went to the store and tried on about 20 pairs of shoes that I thought were comparable. These were the last to try because I don't really like the white toe. However, Once I put these on and walked around the store, I haven't taken them off. They are trim low profile walking shoes that really feel great on my arches and heels. I bought them a half size bigger but I don't have any heal lift, rub or irritation.

These weren't love at first sight but more love at first feel. They are really comfortable easy slip on shoes. (the "tongue" does not separate from the shoe

update: 10/2012 I couldn't get over the look of them.. i ended up not keeping them and only wore them a half dozen times. If you are not 100% sold on the look, I would consider going elsewhere for a comfortable shoe.
