"I was hesitant to purchase these as I have wide feet and flats that are pointy tend to cause me pain, not these at all! It took a day or two to break them in but I wore them all day and my feet didn't scream in pain. I also am usually walking fast most of the day chasing after grade 1's and they have a nice rubber sole on the bottom that doesn't make them slippery on tile floors. I'm buying them now in the black/tan colour I love them so much."
