I bought these shoes because this year I realized, I am not going to suffer and sacrifice my knees and feet anymore to wear high heel shoes to work in all day. However, it's hard to find a sleek, sexy but professional looking low heel shoe, but these shoes absolutely fit the bill. I really like the fact that even though it's a low heel, it's doesn't look like a granny or old lady like shoe. Look at it on the picture, it's not over bearing-- just simple and still sexy. The picture looks just like the actual shoe. It's very comfortable. I can wear it 8 to 10 hours a day and the only time I feel that I have worn it that long is when I take it off. For about 30 secs my feet have to readjust, but that's how my feet are with any dress shoe. I like that I don't have to put on tennis shoes or flat sandals then change when I get to my office. I leave home with them on and come back home to take them off. I can only give this shoe three starts, because as  another reviewer mentioned, it is slippery. I usually walk fast, but I have to go at a moderate pace in these shoes because out of the blue, i'd feel a slip coming on and I'd have to quickly get my balance. It mainly happens on high gloss floors which are in the main area of the building I work in so if you get this shoe, slow your roll or you may tumble and fall. They are also a bit louder than any dress shoes I've worn in that they sound like my old school principal walking down the hall way.
