I'm a "I-don't-care-how-much-they-hurt-my-feet-as-long-as-they're-cute-shoes" SNOB.  As such, I've never owned a "comfort shoe" in my life.  But I knew I had a business trip coming up in four days,  which would require me to walk huge hospital campuses for two days in a row...in business attire.  So, I decided to peek around Amazon see if there existed ANY "stylish" + "comfortable" shoes.  I felt like I was looking for the love child of Big Foot and a unicorn, but what the heck.  Eventually, from the comfort of my bed/laptop, I came upon these shoes and thought "Well, I've never worn a heel lower than 3" before, but these are really pretty cute Mary Jane style shoes, so where's the harm in trying?".  That was at 8:53 PM on Friday (3 biz days before my trip).  And. at 11:00 AM the next morning (while I was *still* in the same bed), the UPS driver handed me these shoes.  I opened the box with utter skepticism.  "Not bad - actually pretty darn cute", I thought.  I put them on..."What??  These are like bedroom slippers!!!"  I'm delighted.  So, I will update this post when I return from my business trip, but so far, I think I've find a new best friend in Ecco.  By the way, I ordered another pair of shoes (well booties actually) from Ecco at the exact same time, but didn't want/need to pay the $3.99 more to overnight those as well, so I put them on a separate order (with standard 2 day Prime shpping), and Amazon was kind enough to ship both together at no extra charge!  Yay for that too, Amazon - YOU and I will ALWAYS be BFFs!!
