I'm a waiter at a large steakhouse. I have to go fast and turn fast. These shoes are not designed for that at all. I'm not sure what they are for. I thought it would be nice to wear shoes without laces, but I found that laces are the way to go. My fingers were also constricted. If I wear thin socks, my shoes would slip off. The tube socks seemed to work, but my feet still hurt as I had to concentrate on putting my shoes on with every step.
