Gosh, I wanted to love these shoes. I used to have a similar pair of docs about 8 years ago, and was happy to see they\'d brought these chunky-funkies back. Alas, these are a little different. If I want to walk fast (a must when crossing Chicago streets!), it\'s not terribly easy. I have to really high step to get around the heels. I don\'t recall this model being so awkward to walk in a few years ago, but these sure are. The good thing about them is that they more than accommodate my orthotics, but again, it does make me nervous to walk without thinking about each step I take. If I wanted to think about each step, I\'d wear high heels! Maybe a taller gal wouldn\'t have the same issues with these shoes. I\'m only 5\'3". As for the leather, well, the quality doesn\'t seem to be up to docs usual standard. It looks a bit like a neoprene scuba suit. When slightly wet, they look like black olives. I\'ll keep wearing them once in a while, but not for my daily walks to school (1.5 miles one way), and certainly I\'ll never trot to catch a bus. \r\n\r\nSorry docs. I love this brand, just not these shoes.

 |  | I LOVE YOU GUYS! I cannot believe it! First of all, I have a size 11 foot... so hard to find my size... have to run to MANY stores to do it. I appreciate your return policy more than you could know. Thank you. The shoe that I ordered yesterday... came here in 24 hours! What?! You guys are AWESOME!
