"I'm not really a tennis shoe person but when I saw these, I just had to try them on. From the very first wear, they are very comfortable. No need to break them in! It's almost like I'm wearing a casual flat because the shoe is so light with every step. I also love the pattern. I have worn them with stripes, crisp white jeans and all my favorite spring colored khakis. I can't wait to wear them with shorts in the Texas heat."
