I am so thankful to FINALLY discover a comfortable AND attractive dress shoe.  Not that this shoe can't be worn casually, but it passes nicely with a dress.  I was happily surprised to find that I can stand on cement or other hard surfaces for an extended period of time without my back bothering me... unlike most other foot attire.  The only reason I didn't give this shoe a five star, is due to the foot bed not being as comfortable as it would have been if it were smooth.  I assume the design of the footbed is to allow for more air circulation.
