"These are probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet. They have a cool, edgy look to them with all the different textures, zipper and patent leather toe. Only drawback is the insole. Box says the shoes are machine washable - I just rinsed mine under the kitchen sprayer and set them out to dry. Next time I wore them, the insoles kept coming loose from the bottom of the shoe and bunching up under my arches. While walking the dog, I had to stop every 10 minutes or so, take the shoes off, pull up the insoles and stretch them back out. Returned first pair and ordered a second. Going to give them another try just because they are SO comfortable."
