I seriously LOVE these shoes. It's often difficult for me to find a pair of good-fitting shoes since one of my feet is definitely bigger than the other, I have very wide feet, and neuropathy makes most shoes hurt my feet. These shoes, however, are like little pieces of heaven on my feet.

So, these shoes are *wonderful*. They're extremely comfortable right out of the box. Someone else mentioned the stiff little tab at the back of the heel and recommended bending it back and forth a few times to work the stiffness out of it;  great tip! During the last 1.5 years of frequent wear, I've found that the velcro has held up remarkably well, something that is not always true with footwear. The dark brown color goes with a lot of what I put on, too, which is another big plus. I'm buying two pairs today so that if this particular shoe disappears, I won't be cast into the depths of despair the next time I come looking for them.

I'm a high school teacher and wear these at work, out with friends, at the Sunday farmer's market and out doing regular kinds of errands. I've taken them on vacation, too, because they're so comfy to walk in. They've been extremely useful in my life but, though they still look nice on top, the soles have about had it. Time for pair #2!  (And spare pair #3!)
