I love this shoe! I avoid closed in shoes as much as possible and wear sandals or flip flops whenever I can...but these shoes are so comfortable that I can honestly say I forgot I had them on. I ordered a 9.5 in WW and they don't pinch my toes as most shoes do and yet are not clumpy looking at all. I didn't see them in a plain black only this with the patent which my son commented on them looking a bit flashy...but I love them. I wish I could get them in a dark brown as well. I can wear them all day with no discomfort at all and that is so rare for me. Also, Zappos has the best service of any retailer I have done business with! Thanks Zappos!
