So it looks like a man shoe, okay. But it comes in pink, and that softens the look. Also with the right pair of shorts, outside wear can definitely be pulled off. I love the arch support and the roominess. I wear 7.5 usually and ordered a 7, and it fit just fine. I bought a pair for myself and picked up the men's version for my husband, and now both our heels are grateful. A must if  you have hard floors at home!
