I bought these shoes for a wedding and any time to dress up.  I spent about 6 hours, including walking and dancing and they were great.  When I got home I was ready to take them off but no blisters and my feet were not sore the next day.  I purchased a size 10.5 and normally take an 11 and they were still a very good fit.  Nice arch support, stable and very comfortable from the ball of the foot to the heel due to the cushioning.  They felt very light and flexible.  Thank you Naturalizer and Amazon!  The only improvement I can suggest would be a quick release buckle.  I would love these in black, too.
