While the pattern isn't something that I would pick out normally, I have wanted to try these shoes forever. I am SO glad that I did. I am on my feet for most of the day at work and my lower back has stopped screaming at me in the morning. The shoes took a few days of getting used to, as I normally wear sneakers, but after a quick breaking in period these have become my go-to pair. Love them and will be ordering more.

Just a note: I normally wear a 9.5 or 10 in tennis shoes, depending on the brand. I wear a 40 in Birkenstocks. I ordered the 40 in these and wish I would have ordered the 41. While the 40s fit, they JUST fit. If you like your shoes a titch more roomy, go up a size.
