When I first received them, I didn't like the way they looked but after wearing them for a while I love them!  I think it's because they are a bit funky but also they are the easiest to slip on when heading out the door, definitely the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and keep my feet toasty warm on a cold winters day.  I decided to throw them in my hand luggage just before I headed to Europe for 5 weeks and just as well that I did.  An old knee injury came back to haunt me about 3 days in and these were the only shoes that I could wear comfortably - they provided a stable platform for my foot so that my knee was supported and the cushioned sole reduced impact and jarring. I am now shopping for another pair of Danskos. These are high quality shoes.
