These shoes are so comfortable and soft.  I am partial to Clark shoes of similar styles but these are just as nice and even more comfortable.  They did not require any break-in period and the strap has enough give so it is not too tight over the foot.  I can wear these shoes all day long and they look great with a dress, slacks, or jeans.  It's hard to find comfortable shoes that look decent but these shoes are perfect.  I ordered them in black, size 8 1/2 Medium.  They fit true to size.  The only thing that I found odd was a little flap on on the top part of heel. It's like an extra piece of leather that is not sewn.  I don't know what it's purpose is but it doesn't affect the quality or appearance of the shoe.
