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.

 |  | Received order in good condition. Shoes fit fine. Returned other shoes today. Thank you for being so nice. I have been on this wonderful earth for 81 years and I have never seen a company try so hard to please as you have, not only do you try to please, you please. It is amazing how much love you radiate in your correspondence. Thank you again for being so wonderful. P.S. I plan to be here another 19 years so I can figure out other things to order from you. |  | ~ Joe F., October 16 2009
