"Recently, on a trip to NYC, we visited DSW looking for comfy shoes for the Hubby to wear. All that walking and his dogs were barking plus he was getting super cranky. After trying on several pairs of shoes, he selected these NB shoes and wore them out of the store sans socks. Well, the crank-a-puss disappeared and happy Hubby returned. He wore these shoes for the rest of our trip almost constantly and when he wasn't wearing them, he was talking about how he wished he was. A very successful purchase and he continues to wear them in our home city."
