These are well made shoes that made me feel 80 years old. They really look like something my Grandmother would wear. On top of me not liking the way they looked on my feet the other problem I had was my right heel slide to the side with every step and it was only the right side that did this. I wanted to like them as they are very soft, light and had good arch support. The 8 fit my 7.5 foot perfectly other them the strange heel slip.
