nice shoes, a little hard at the sole, ordered a 9 and I usually wear an 8.5, walked around the supermarket with them on, not as tough to wear as normal high heels. the velcro fasteners on them are a little odd ( I am used to regular buckles). The tread on the bootom is kind of slick, but ok. I liked the look of these shoes though. I would not go walking for 10 miles in them though. Overall I really like these.
