This shoe is cute and stylish, and would be fine for wearing short distances. It has no arch support, which for the price, one could not expect that kind of quality. I think I'd prefer a bit sturdier shoe, but it would be perfect for someone who tootles around the house, or a casual shoe for work in the office. I think it runs a bit big unless you wear thick socks. I was hoping to wear it without socks, so I would go one half size smaller.
