OK. I have been wearing this style of shoes for decades. Decades! You don't go back time and again to buy a shoe that isn't comfortable, long wearing, and a good value.

One reason I keep coming back to this style of shoe is it looks very nice and neat. It doesn't look weird. So many shoes look just awful and I can't imagine how anyone could wear them. I call them chunky-clunks as they don't look feminine in the least.

These shoes come in many colors (I usually buy a neutral color) and everyone should be able to find a color they like. I've worn them in the rain and have had no trouble with them (not talking about floods here.) All in all, I recommend this style of shoes.
