"Born/b.o.c. makes some of my favorite shoes-I own at least 3-4 pairs! I like something that has a little bit of heel for looks, but I also have to have something comfortable to wear at work. I like how these have a slightly raised forefoot like a platform shoe; that way I can have a bit of heel without sacrificing comfort. These shoes are cushy and I like that they are made of real leather that will soften and conform even more with time. I do like the comfort of clog-style shoes for work, but too often these kinds of shoes (clogs) look too plain. These particular ones have a nice decorative strap that give the shoes just a tiny touch of pizazz. The only reason I didn't rate these shoes "very comfy" is because a shoe has to have a prominent arch support for me to label it as such (like sneakers)."
