This shoe is much prettier than the picture shoes.  It is actually dressy enough to wear with skirts, and great for work on your feet all day.  The only thing I wish is the velco strap was just a tad longer - as you have to align it just so to hook together, but not a serious issue.  It is a great color - deep maroon, and a nice change from black or brown.  A great shoe - and wow did I get a great deal for a Dansko shoe!  Thanks!
