I bought these shoes with the thought of hmmm open convo's??..As a waitress its always nice to talk to your costumers to maybe up a tip?? These shoes are not only comfort. But very non skid!! Im the only one at work that dosnt slip or slide in the kitchen. Deff. Rec. To all waitress and waiters. It was to my suprise and will be your also just to give a try. My tips have been excellent due to a great convo Starter!!
