They aren't the cutest, but they provide great support, are pretty comfy and seem like they are quality made. The zipper clicking when you walk is annoying, especially since there is no point to the zipper...not for esthetic reasons or practicality reasons and it's not even shown in the pictures. I hope the designers read these comments, because several people who have ordered these have said the exact same thing. I do like the tread on the bottom as they are not super slippery like most dress shoes that are much cuter.
