I had never heard of these shoes before (one of the reasons I love Zappos, meeting shoes I've never met before) and they are the most comfortable things I've ever had on my feet. The leather is like butter, the heel height is perfect to walk in and they actually look sexy on. So much better than frumpy "comfort" shoes that cost as much but don't look as good. These are what quality shoes used to be about; I can't say enough good about them.
