I really like these shoes; they're super cute, look great with slacks, and they are very comfortable.  I'm a teacher so I'm standing most of the day, and my feet feel great standing in these shoes.  I do, however, have two problems with them.  One: they stink already, and not the plasticky stink people were complaining about.  Mine smell like stinky feet (because I don't wear them with socks- why would I?).  Now I understand that could just be my own body chemistry, but if you advertise being antimicrobial you'd better be able to deliver.  It's one of the reasons I bought the shoes, because I knew I would wear them without socks and I didn't want yet another pair of shoes that smell bad.  And just to be clear, I've only worn them twice and they already smell.  Two: they squeak, and it's not just a little squeak here and there, it's a great big loud squeak with every single step.  I've tried adjusting my step, my foot, my gait... nothing works.  They squeak incessantly.  So... super cute and comfy but stinky and squeaky.  I guess I'll have to take the good with the bad.
