I am a sucker for comfortable shoes, but I am also not yet at the stage where my feet need an orthopedic shoe. This is not bad for an orthopedic shoes, but try as I might, I cannot help but look at them and think ORTHOPEDIC SHOE. I ordered the Black Patent, praying that they would have a So Ugly It's Cool vibe to them, but I was sadly mistaken. I did find that the shoe looks alot less 'um, Sante Fe matron of a certain age' if you cover the native american inspired Silver Medallion with some Black Duct Tape.

It took a while to get used to and for quality product, this shoe cannot be better made. But honey, the Rocker in this sandal is definitely the Rocker that Granny was sitting in and not the Rocker that used to hang at CBGB ;)
