"I was in the market for a new pair of work shoes to wear with dress pants or skirts, and I'm glad I bought these. They are comfortable and look nice with dress pants or skirts, and also with jeans. The inside of the shoe isn't too slippery which makes it nice to wear with tights or thin dress socks. I wear a size 9 in most shoes, and this was no exception- the size 9 fit just fine."
"I got these shoes after dealing with a bunch of injuries that were thought to be related to running too much on my heels. I bought these shoes because they have a smaller heel/toe drop(4mm) than the average running shoes (which is about 10mm) which can be conducive to running more on the middle/front of your foot. I was warned to wean in to them due to this and my injury issues, and once I did, I loved them! They are very comfy and lightweight.
The size itself was consistent with what I normally wear, but I did find that mine ran narrow, especially in the middle of my feet. I got them stretched out enough that it eventually didn't bother me, but if you have wide feet this could be a problem.
These shoes are part of the Pure Project line from Brooks, and only projected to last about 250 miles or so. I did notice mine started wearing down much earlier than other pairs of shoes. That being said, I really like the look of them and hope to get some non-running casual use out of them for a little while more."

Surprisingly comfy!
"I always feel that flats should be more comfortable than heels, but rarely find that to be the case. However, these are actually very comfortable! The inside is soft and cushioned. I ended up ordering a half size down from what I normally wear due to the sizes available online, but they fit just fine."

Great purchase
"These boots are great! Very comfortable and warm. I also got a great deal on them from DSW which makes it even better! They do get dirty pretty quickly, but using protective spray to waterproof them and wipe the dirt off easily makes them easy to clean."
