I bought this shoe while looking for 8W womens.  It was on a great sale and I wanted some everyday grocery store shoes.  I thought, who cares if they are silver?  I love the shoes.  They are so comfortable that I can hardly resist putting them on.  The silver or platinum has been a pleasant change and really looks good with jeans.  I have received several favorable comments.  This pair will result in my checking out the Aerosole brand a little closer.  Very pleased!
