These are cute, with a nice sole for a comfortable cushioning walk. The only problem is that I had to wear them with socks(!!) because if I went barefoot or in hose, I discovered that the button that holds the strap across the top of the foot would rub right in the center of my arch and make a blister every time. I have sort of 'ducky' feet--narrow heel, wider toes, but also with a high-ish arch. Sometimes it's hard to get a shoe to fit just right.

Socks with mary janes are just a little too...childish for me to want to wear. It's a shame that it's so hard to find a good mary jane or flat dress shoe that is comfortable and but also work appropriate for an adult.
