I know these shoes aren't cute, BUT I bought these shoes because I work 10-12 hour days as a hairdresser.  I wear them with flares or boot-cut trousers with an inseam long enough to cover half of the shoe. :-).
 Lots of walking and standing on porcelain tile for 20 years can take its toll on one's joints. I have a bit of tendinitis in my knees and these really help because they don't aggravate it. My feet feel nice at the end of the day as well. I got a 38wide and they fit great-plus wide enough to accommodate thicker, cushy socks. (I am a 7.5 C/D in American sizing). Highly recommend!
