These are great shoes. The bronze is so dressy that I feel fine commuting in these with my designer sunglasses. In fact, I feel not only fine, but GREAT since I now have cushiony shoes to absorb the impact of the train stops if I have to stand all the way into the city...

When I first got these I wasn't sure I would keep them, because as commonly noted, they do cause your foot to pronate inward. My left foot pronates outward anyway, so I figured opposite motion wouldn't be bad. So these are working out fine. It's annoying, but not a problem.

These shoes do everything they say they will. I have fibromyalgia and always have trouble with pain, breathing freely, and posture. These really do create great posture so I can breathe more freely.

They also are good walking shoes, in that the more you walk, the more you notice your great posture. I have been walking for exercise for years, and no other shoe has actually created this event for me.

They are heavy shoes a bit, true. But you get used to it. In fact you don't really notice because you are busy noticing all the cool leg & butt muscles that are working.

I also ordered the Sketcher boots for winter, and am considering ordering another pair of these in black.

I highly recommend them.

UPDATE - May 20, 2010

I've had these shoes for a few weeks now. Still commuting in them. They do tend to be heavy, as people have said. I also went for a long walk, over two miles & got sore from that (back & hamstrings).

So things to consider. But still they are great shoes.

I wear them with my dress-up clothes and feel very classy. I haven't seen anyone else in Boston wearing the brown color so they are def trendy. Still recommend them!
