"I wore these to my graduation because they seemed comfortable when I tried them on, and they were. It wasn't until it was almost over that my feet really started to hurt, I'd recommend gel inserts of you are going to buy these. However, I will be returning them because the wood-like part of the shoe got scuffed after wearing them for a couple of hours! It looks terrible and does not seem to have a fix. If you will only wear these on carpet they are good but any sort of concrete will mess them up."
