Hey, I am long past wanting something flashy on my feet. That is not my priority. I belong to a group of women who desire well made, comfortable shoes that will keep my feet dry this winter. I haven't tried them as walking shoes, so I can't say how they would perform in that respect. All I can say, is that they are comfortable and look nice whether I am going to the doctor or the grocery store. I feel like I got good value for the money.
