I love these shoes!  They are very nice looking.  I own the black paton shoes also.  I have had people on the street ask me where I got them and what brand they were.  Also, the people I work with are ordering them.  I own seven pairs of FitFlops and don't wear any other shoes.  They are always comfortable and cause no foot problems at the end of the day!  These are the only shoes I have ever owned that did not cause foot discomfort by the end of the day!  If you haven't tried a pair, I highly recommend you get a pair today!
