Love these shoes!  This is my second pair in this style...also bought the birch.  I have foot problems from years of wearing platforms and these shoes accommodate orthotics and are saving me from surgery.  I'm a kindergarten teacher and on my feet all day with no soreness.  Will only wear MBTs or Skechers Shape-ups from now on.  MBTs do seem to be just a little more comfortable than Skechers, but a lot more expensive.  These were on sale!!
