"I do not like to wear shoes......but these are The absolute most comfortable pair of shoes i've ever owned. Comfortable with or wothout socks. Kind of like having on a pair of stretch jeans this shoe stretches and molds to your foot. my daughter (who wears a half to full size larger) tries to steal these as she also finds them super comfortable and attractive. These are great for long walks and also nice looking for going out. They are the only shoes that don't automatically get kicked off my feet when i walk in the door because they are sooo comfortable. Yes, i wear these often, they are wearing well, and clean up nicely with a damp rag. But If you are looking for a shoe with support, these are not for you."
