The wife took a chance on these after seeing a waitress wearing them for dinner service. Strangely, she had them on all night and said her feet never got sore. That was the hook for my wife, like most women who fight the battle of comfort vs fashion. Anyway, she did wear them around the house for a trial run with positive results. The fit was good, quality was very good, and price was reasonable. Oh, and they're MADE IN THE USA! (Sorry for yelling, but that's big news!!) She also told me to write that they're cute, too, but I digress. We're deducting a star because after wearing them for a few days she realized that they can't be walked in very quickly. Not that she'd try to run a race or anything, but rushing somewhere, like to dinner, is not going to happen in these shoes! Everything else fits the bill for her and she's 4-star pleased!!
