I loved how they looked so I took a chance to see if they were all that they seemed to be.  I bought these in pink and black - checkered pattern.  They are great walking shoes and deliver on wearing for a full day of errands.  Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I can't wear these shoes with my low-cut socks.  They slide all over the place with the construction of these shoes.  But I popped on a pair of ankle length/crew cut socks and they work great!
