I get compliments on these every single time I wear them. People love the rainbow laces. They are easy to slip on and off, which is important to me. They are very comfortable, even on pretty long walks. The memory foam feels great, but does get very hot. I wore them on a 2 mile walk on a warm night and couldn't wait to get them off, not because my feet were sore, but because they were burning up. They'll be great for walks when it gets colder out, though. I usually only wear leather or cotton shoes and these are a synthetic mesh fabric, which has never been my style, but they are so comfy and easy that I'm okay with the different material.
