When I first tried these shoes on, I didn't think they weren't that comfortable. But after wearing them for a while, I kind of grew on them. Since breaking in they seem to have become more comfortable. They are stylish and the non-slip sole makes the shoe stand out. I work as a bartender and I find these shoes to be good, inexpensive work shoes or casual shoes. I liked them so much I bought a second pair. The only question now is how long will they last?
