A good pair of formal shoes. The shoes are unexpectedly comfortable, look stylish but not overdone, and can last a full day's work. They are a little small - half a size or so. Do your homework before you buy online. Try on a pair of these sneakers in store to determine your size. After a few days they started to take shape (especially the narrow tear area). If the shoes suit you, they will be a good addition to your wardrobe.
