These shoes are absurdly comfortable, if not visually appealing. I bought a pair two years ago, and fit into the women's size seven, but this pair felt smaller. Also, the other pair took two years to fully wear down the treads on the bottom, but I've had these for less than a year and they are beginning to wear down and lose traction. At least the price seems to be going down as the quality decreases, but I might have to start looking elsewhere for comfort shoes.
