I have these shoes in black and wear them with skirts and and dresses. I am a teacher and on my feet all day long.  The shoes are very comfortable but the bottom of my foot is black within an hour.  I have worn these five times and it is the same story each time...my feet are completely black on the bottom.  Don't know what dye they used but it doesn't look pretty.  I may reorder in a different color just because of the comfort but beware the black shoes!
