I made this purchase for my brother.would you believe, he dosen't own a computer?  He purchased  these shoes, at my suggestion.  I own several pairs of these prophet shoes.  I am also about to purchase another pair (just because). My original purchase, of the prophet washable shots were for work.  They are leather(important)  if you are on your feet for several hrs. A day.  And had many selections of basic non descript colors, also important for me.  Well I purchesed thes e shoes after several unsuccessful purchases of other brands. I was desperate for comfortable light weight shoes for work in a pharmacy, and on my feet for hrs on end.  This is the only brand I wear now.  HURRAY!!!  Oh yea, my brother ( a teacher). Hasen't worn any other shoes to work since he received his prophet shoes.  He loves them also.  They truly are comfortable.  In my opinion a sure winner. Believe me" I am really fussy " about my comfort.  ThankYou.
