"Great color for all seasons and palettes, soft leather upper with a flexible thin rubber sole, for that already broken in feeling. Easy to slip on over hose or thin socks and very comfortable. A nice foot-hugging design with feminine lines. (The poster who said the top seam hurt her feet must have very tender tootsies because I don't feel it at all.) There is no arch support, but so many women's shoes do not have them (we all wish they would!! -- Dr. Scholls makes nice rubber ones you can transfer to all shoes easily and wash frequently.) It's just a nice, lightweight leather oxford for those jeans or other light pants days, even skirts. I found them true to size. Better than a sneaker, not as dressy as heels, and great for tooling around the city (not for hours on concrete, though!) or running weekend errands in the car. I'm looking forward to seeing them with my tweedy slacks for work in the Autumn. Buying more now, so I don't mourn the loss after one pair. Just received two "Very cute" comments at the office!"
