They're comfortable! If buying patent, very stylish go anywhere 'slippers'.  The non patent varieties seem a bit 'old ladyish'. When I go shopping though, old ladyish or not, I wear these.  You may want to go a bit smaller though in width and length, these stretch as you break them in. Unfortunate for me, I wear an 11wide but order the 11 mediums in these.  10 1/2 medium would be perfect but they aren't offered in that size...bummer. This may be a non issue with someone who has a normal or high arch. I have flat feet.

Still, I keep buying these, patent and not because they truly are comfortable.  My favorite are the black patent, I get lots of compliments on those. I put extra thick insoles and heel pads in to take up room so they fit better without falling off.
