i found this shoe at a local dept store and bought it in the sand color and i liked it so much that i ordered the black for work. even though they are men's shoes, they look great for women too...if you like the loafer/slipper look. i have plantar fasciitis and i have trouble finding shoes that i can wear for extended periods of time without my foot hurting, but these shoes give me all of the support and cushion i need.
