This sytle of Hush Puppie shoe is the best office casual shoe ever. My older brother used to buy them when I was a kid and I have bought them throughout my adult life. The main thing is that the soft soles are comfortable on the feet. The shoes are stylish and formal-looking enough that you can wear them with dress clothing to the office, or you wear them with jeans and look just as good.  Last, if you're older and overweight,and have knee problems from step-impact, this is a great shoe because it cushions your impact from hard floor surfaces.
