I'm used to wearing very minimal Merrell barefoot shoes, so I was surprised by how large these Sketchers make my feet look!  The flexible sole is what sold me on them, over other nursing shoes, such as clog styles.  The flexible sole is comfortable; the memory foam insoles are very comfortable and are removable.  The non-fabric upper is appropriate for the medical field.  Overall these shoes work great.  I have high arches and plan to add an arch cookie for when I have to spend many hours on my feet.  My only complaint is that the material listing is misleading: it should not mention the word &#34;leather&#34;, as there is no leather - &#34;man-made&#34; or &#34;synthetic&#34; is all they should specify!  I thought they meant the upper had both synthetic and leather pieces.  I would definitely recommend these to people who need white non-fabric work shoes.
