These shoes are really comfortable. I can wear them all day at work without looking unprofessional AND without having to wear heels. A lot of flats are incredibly uncomfortable for work, but these are just right and help me out whether I'm around my office or going to do presentations. I imagine they would still be comfortable if I was standing all day, too. My only complaint is that the heel of the shoe digs into my heel. I have to wear bandages on my ankles to prevent damage even with socks since it pushes my socks down underneath my foot and digs right in. This happens with a number of flat-style shoes, but I was hoping they would address the issue here. It's still better than SOME shoes about it, but it doesn't prevent it entirely. They squeaked when I walked down the hall for the first couple of days, but once I broke them in they were fine.
