I absolutely needed new work shoes because, to be honest, the ones I have now aren't pretty. They are light and easy to put on. Runs a bit large, so I recommend ordering half a size smaller. They are also difficult to break into. When I first put them on, I put on invisible socks and scratched the back of my ankle. So with those I would also recommend wearing high or thick socks, they will be uncomfortable for some time. All in all this is a good product.
