Great, sturdy shoes that held up very well trekking through Europe for a couple weeks and walking an average of 10+ miles per day. I like the style of the shoes which looks a lot nicer than just wearing tennis shoes but still offers support for your feet. I also enjoyed the velcro strap which I prefer to having to buckle or hook the shoe some other way.Overall, the shoes were comfortable, but could have been a lot more comfortable if there was better cushioning in the foot bed of the shoes. The foot bed was kind of hard and didn't form to my foot as I expected them too.I love the looks of this shoe, and they are so beautifully made, but I have to accept the fact that length cannot compensate for width. They rub my feet in two places and leave red marks after a few minutes. I will watch for the Naot brand and something in a wide width.I wear NAOT all of the time. Rubs a little on the left foot but otherwise nice.I definitely like them -- just wish they came in half sizes. A bit "shinier" than I expected.I have to update my 4 star review. After wearing these shoes for a total of 8 hours they began to squeak - both shoes! I paid over $160 to get good support and a somewhat fashionable shoe that I could wear in the office. Now I cannot wear them as everyone knows I am coming down the hall. What a disappointment. I would return, but I've worn them. I will be buying Aravon from now on. Not as pretty, but don't squeak, even after a year of wearing.I use this pair for dressy occasions with a floor length skirt.They are elegant and comfortable.Service was good. The shoes fit well and I like them a lot!!Returned them.
