I bought these sandals  based on positive reviews and a good price for Rockports. These are pretty comfortable. But I got them in silver, and man, do they look weird. It looks like I took aluminum foil and covered up a pair of sandals with it. The foil material wraps around the back of the heel of the shoe, and it looks strange to me. Also, the silver color does not seem casual enough to wear with slacks or shorts, but they are pretty flat and would look peculiar with a dress or skirt, I think. I am returning.
