I was looking for a comfortable pair of walking shoes withouit laces (easy on easy off) with a dressy upper so that I could wear the shoes to work and back, possibly changing into a lighter pair at work, if needed when meeting others. This pair did not serve me well in walking. The heel cup area gouged my ankle. The skin broke out into a rash and began hurting. I was hoping that the pinch condition would ease up in a few days but it did not. I would not buy this shoe again.
