I bought these shoes particularly because I am a working professional who moves around and travels quite a bit.  I wanted a pair of comfortable shoes that I could wear for work and not have change into flats.  These shoes also don't make the "clacking" sound that most of my heeled shoes do which is a bonus especially when traveling and walking on wooden floors.  I can walk and stand for lengthier periods of time in these shoes.

These shoes are also great for the professional pregnant women.  They would need to be stretched accordingly as the feet of pregnant women tend to expand.  They maintain the professional look especially with maternity dress pants.
