I bought these shoes half a year ago for a trade show I had to visit, and they have become my new favorite pair! Despite walking in them for 12 hours the very first day I got them, I never developed any sore feet or blisters. The heel part has a small cushion built in, which is extremely comfy, and the sides of the shoe don't rub or irritate. These shoes look very fancy for nice events, but you can also just wear them on the daily during summer or fall. Have received tons of compliments about them! I also bring them to weddings so I can slip out of my heels at night, and still look classy.
