Shoes are very well made, and very sturdy. This being said, it makes them less comfortable to walk around in. (The ole' Sock and Hairdryer trick might work?) The shoe is perfect for wearing to Work with skirt and blouse as well as throwing on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. Very Verastile. Heel is not too high. For someone that buys a 4 to 5 inch shoes, this was a height that was perfect for all-night-standing.(Maybe not all night walking though. Fits true to Size. good for wider feet.
