Being enrolled in a nursing program, we had to have a white work shoe to wear for our clinicals. After searching and searching for a shoe that had some sort of a style to it but still met the criteria, I decided on this one. The shoe itself is actually very comfortable and can be worn for hours on end while on your feet. I can see them being good walking shoes, and they offer a good amount of support. The only reason that I gave a 4 star review vs. a 5 star is because of the styling. I feel as though they look a bit older... not as current/trendy as I would have preferred, but for work they do the job plus more. Highly recommended!
