I work as a Vet Tech in a busy animal hospital so originally I wanted to try Danskos because I heard such great things about them. Well I got a pair for my birthday and while I love them, I kept throwing out my ankle because they are so high off the ground. Now I wear them just for leisure and I wear these amazing shoes to work! They are super comfortable and you really can't beat the Firestone tire treads for grip on floors! I'm super happy with these and at half the cost, they are worth a try for anyone with weak ankles. Not to mention the sole is cushioned and soft, unlike the Danskos.

The only negative is that they don't breathe great (they're solid rubber) so you're feet kind of stink at the end of the day. But for me, it's no biggie and it's worth it to keep my ankles happy!

As far as sizing goes, I usually wear a 6 or a 6 1/2 so I ordered a 6/36 and they fit perfect with thinner socks.
