I wanted some simple flats that I could wear with dresses or jeans and these fit the bill.  They look nice and are relatively comfortable - I added a gel insert, which helps a lot as there is basically no padding in the sole. On my feet they rub slightly near my Achilles tendon, but this may just be my feet.  These are also my go-to-shoes when traveling as they are very light and take up almost no room in a suitcase.  If you want to do any serious walking though, they need the insert.  Bought a second color.
