These shoes are incredibly comfortable, and the slight heel makes them a little more dressier than the flat sandels. My only complaint about them is that the suede is sometimes slippery and I find myself having to grip them a little harder when I'm walking than some of the other Clark's sandels I own. But I wore them to a BBQ where I stood around for about 4 hours and my feet didn't get tired at all. I'd wear these ANYWHERE that I knew I'd be doing a lot of standing, maybe less so if I was doing a lot of walking.
