I bought these shoes to keep at work so that I had a "go to" shoe to walk in during the day. Let's face it, women don't always buy the most comfortable shoes to wear daily so when you want to take a "sporty" walk with a friend during the day to get away from your desk, you need a cute pair of walking shoes to throw on whether wearing a skirt, dress, or pants.  These shoes fit the bill and are comfortable.  I only gave it four stars because the quality of the material is a bit lower than some of my other walking shoes (like Merrell).
