These shoes, like other Danksos I own, are very comfy and sturdy. When I have to stand for long periods of time they are the shoes that I go to first, as they help keep my back from getting sore (provided it's not already, that is). I find that the Mary Jane style of these looks a little nicer with skirts.

Your foot is supposed to have plenty of room in these, so if you're between sizes, like I am, order the larger size. These aren't meant to fit as closely as most shoes do, so they will feel a little loose -- you want to make sure you have room in the toe box (toes should not touch the front) and that your heel lifts up a bit as you step.
