I love these shoes. I purchased them over 1 year ago and I wear them all the time. They are so comfortable and durable. I have gotten several compliments on these shoes. My sister-in-law, who is very fashionable, said she loved them. I only wish they came in more colors. I would buy every one. To wash, I put mine in the machine on gentle and let them air dry. I have done this several times and they still look great.
