I took a chance with a new brand of shoes just because the reputation of Mizuno is great...and I loved the color combo! The shoes are definitely brighter that the picture depicts, but I still LOVE them! (That's the only reason I gave them 4 stars, since the pic is not super accurate. I was expecting a much softer teal) I have wide feet and have sometimes have trouble finding shoes that don't feel like they suffocate my feet. After one day at work (I'm a nurse), these shoes felt like I had been wearing them for months. Very comfy and look super cute with my black scrubs!
