These are a very comfortable casual shoe. The appearance is a little nicer than photograph - I wear them to work and for my mile long afternoon walk. They look nice with slacks,jeans and Khakis, and traction on the bottom is perfect for cold, wet sidewalks with a slight coating of early morning ice. There is a bit of cushion in the sole and good comfortable support around the mid section of shoe. Lot's of wiggle room in toe area - but not too much. They can accommodate an additional arch support!
