I've been looking for a shoe like this for a long time. When these arrived, not only did I love the look, but THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE AND SO WELL MADE. I will definitely by this brand again. Great cushioning in the insole, a small flap of leather across the inside heel so it won't dig into your Achilles tendon, and a great rubberized sole. These shoes are the best shoes I've purchased. Ever. And I'm not exaggerating.
