"These are extremely comfortable. They are very light and flexible. I wear them both with and without socks. I sized up half a size from my usual 7.5 to 8 cause I like these shoes a little looser than flats or heels. I've had back pains for months at work cause I'm on my feet so much but I've had these for about a month now and wear these and another new pair of sketchers slip ins everyday and I haven't had a back ache since. I can easily wear these for 10+ hours and feel comfortable all day. And they are cute. I've gotten several compliments. I'm not crazy about the white soles because they do tend to get dirty easily. Against the black it is noticeable."
