I was sucked in to these because so many people like the comfort and they can be comfortable. My son's orthodontist staff wears them exclusively and I liked how they looked. I have a very wide foot and the top of my foot sits high. So these barely fit around but they have also stretched a little. The heel is not supposed to be tight at the back and actually doesn't really touch at all.

The shoe has a great shape and is beautifully finished. Quality materials with solid stitching. But the problem for me is that I don't understand why the sole doesn't flex. I feel like I'm walking on blocks. It is not necessarily uncomfortable, just really odd and it makes a clunk clunk sound. The shoes are pretty heavy so there is nothing delicate about them.

This finish does tend to show scuffs fairly easily but it hasn't been a distraction from the shoe yet. They slip on and off easily.

I just don't get the clunky sole for a shoe at this price. Maybe that's what makes them so likeable to others but it feels really odd to me.
