For me these are very comfortable.  They look nice with a pair of suit pants and I can spend a good amount of time on my feet without feeling like they are jammed into a vice.  They are not the most sexy pair of shoes but they put a nice professional spin on a comfortable pair of shoes.  I never really paid any attention to shoes until I worked with a woman who could not stop talking about them.  I giggle when I think of how often she felt uncomfortable in those new pair of strappy, high heeled, sexy shoes with bandaids sticking out of the sides of the shoes.  Poor girl, I hope she finally caved and found some sensible shoes.  Not that I am anti sexy shoe but there are some days the sexy shoes just aren't practical especially when you are on your feet a lot.
