I'm all about comfy shoes, especially when they're cute. That's why I prefer mary janes. They're easy to walk in and look great with skirts or pants. While these are not my favorite pair of mary janes ever, there is no reason not to give them 5 stars. Good quality, plain but stylish and versatile. There are other brands of mary janes I prefer just because other shoes will cover more of my foot (I own 2 Sketchers brand mary janes and they both have the same low-ish height), but that's just personal preference - I think it looks better. Seems to me that they should make the straps longer so that more of the strap hooks to the velcro, but this poses no problem with comfort or fit. Fits true-to-size.
