I bought these shoes a long time ago and just recently started wearing them.  These have become my go-to shoes for summer.  At first I wasn't sure I liked them because they seemed kind of tight.  Yet, the upper piece did give and they are the most comfortable shoes ever.  I love the height that these shoes give without being awkward to walk in.  I find them very easy to walk in and balanced.  Additionally the comfort for me has been excellent.  I wear them to work where I have to do alot of city walking and they have been great.  I also have walked miles in them with no problem.  I know it sounds funny, since they are pretty high up, but the cross between the balance and the comfort makes them very easy.  I like just being able to slip into them without having to find matching socks or fussing with a lace or zipper.  I have had no problems as far as slipping goes - they seem to grip the ground great (the little pattern on the bottom is very cute too).  Driving is no problem.  I really like these.  My only gripe is that they are starting to show slight signs of wear and I do tend to get a little whitish film on them from time to time due to the bacteria that collects on feet.  If you purchase these and find them a little tight at first, please give them a chance.  My experience with Pleaser shoes and these is that they will grow into your foot shape.  I've worn these all summer with no blisters or cuts or foot pain.  These shoes are awesome for platforms.  However one day I did forget I was a little taller and hit my head on a partially-opened garage door - oh well.
