I really love these shoes.  I have neuropathy in my feet and legs so I've always had to wear the Mary Jane style of shoe with the strap to keep them from falling off.  If I tried to wear a nice looking shoe without straps I'd lalways lose at least one of them as I was rolling in my wheelchair.  These have the stretchy around the top so they stay on very well.  They can be worn a little dressy even with the rubber sole.  The rubber sole helps keep my from sliding when I'm transferring from my wheelchair. The peep toe makes them more feminine which I appreciate a lot.  Mary Janes just don't do justice to a 66 year old lady in a chair.  I'll keep the Mary Janes for at home and I'm ordering another color of the Skechers Open Toes for going out in public.  I love the taupe that I have now but would like a black pair as well.  And the sizing is pretty true.  At least for me.  Enjoy!
