I've been looking for a black leather shoe with high enough sides to hide the fact that I replace the foot cushion with my orthodic cushion.  This shoe does it well.  The toe box is big enough that I can wiggle my toes with my orthodic footbed inside.  Love that it has both velcro and zipper closures.  The leather looks nice - I won't know how well it holds up until I've had more time to wear them, but so far, so good.  I got them quite quickly after I ordered them.
