Absolutely love these shoes.  I bought them for my LDS mission, but being the shoe fiend that I am... I HAD to try them out before.  So I can stand in these shoes for most my day at work (Im a bank teller) 8 hours+... The only draw back that I've had is I was under the impression where the stone is that it would come undone. However, this is completely a slip on but is plenty secure with the the stiff elastic on the far side of the leather straps.
