I got these shoes in black for graduation. I was wearing a 1940s-inspired dress and wanted shoes that went along with the theme but could also walk across the stage for without doing the Duck Walk (you know what I mean, ladies). These shoes are so comfortable and cushy! I have had problems all my life trying to find shoes that fit right (I have narrow feet and a high arch) but these fit perfectly. I have gotten many compliments on them. I've also worn them to work (rushing out the door, grabbed first pair of shoes I could find) and after 9-10 hours they were still comfortable! (Which, I can assure you, is very unusual for me. I'm not one of those women who can live in heals, sadly.)
