When I first drew these shows I was concerned that they would not be comfortable. The shoes have a hard plastic shell which doesn't seem very forgiving, I even put them on and thought it wouldn't work. Although I am happy I have chosen to stay with them and wear them while walking my dog. These shoes are lightweight, comfortable and durable. These are my most worn shoes now, whether I'm going shopping or walking the dog. I highly recommend these shoes but be aware that at first glance they appear to be made of plastic.
