These shoes would be so comfortable if they could be tightened.  Let me explain, the big flap you see is the velcro part.  And you simply place the flap onto the shoe.  Sounds simple enough, but the problem is you can't tighten the velcro.  The Velcro doesn't go through a hole/loop initially, so you can't pull on it and then set the velcro down.  Even if you hold the shoe really tight and then drop the velcro down, it is still loose.  So what I had to do was set the velcro down without my foot in it.  Then I use a shoe horn to get into the shoe so the shoe will fit snug enough so you won't slip out of the shoe, otherwise, you feet will come out of the shoe.  The problem with the simple fix of shoe horning my feet in is that the shoe has a tongue, and the tongue gets shoved down.  So after getting into the shoe I have to dig out the tongue and pull it up.

As for looks, even with velcro it can easily pass off as a comfortable dress shoe.
