"I was looking for a pair of work appropriate shoes (business casual) that also were comfortable enough to wear in a classroom (working with elementary school children). I have had success with Skechers in the past, and thought I would give them another chance to prove their awesomeness.
These shoes are attractive, wear snug (I would have purchased the 7.5 had I known just how snug), come with two colors of shoe laces, and so far have not hurt my feet after a full day hiking around a hilly city wearing them.
The only downfall I can think of is the tightness they came with, but I am hoping after wearing them for a few weeks that will lessen."
