These are great shoes, so far.  I've worn them a couple of times and they are very comfortable.  The size seems to run true as well. The heel is higher than what I normally wear, but the sole is cushioned nicely so it isn't a problem. I have a pair of Dr. Scholl's flats as well, and they are like wearing slipper but they certainly don't LOOK like slippers.  I'm a fan of this brand.
