The look, the color and the extra width that's hard to find in a shoe. I like the shoes very much. I just received it today. In fact, I didn't know what size would fit me. I chose 8.5 wide hoping it would fit but a day later I bought 8 wide because I got 8 wide shoes from Macy's which fit perfectly. was too small so I took the 8.5 black and will return the 8 wide brown. Black was a little cheaper. So everyone is happy. I bought another great shoe and Amazon had to keep the money. LAUGH OUT LOUD
