My husband loves these shoes! He ordered them for a trip to New York and wore them every day (5 days). His feet usually hurt because of the casual tennis shoes he wears, but he put them on and felt no pain at all. (Obviously an issue with his casual shoes, but that's another story.) Due to the higher cut of the shoe, I wouldn't recommend no-show socks with the shoes. As a woman, these are very good men's fashion shoes, not too fashion. Goes well with jeans or khakis. We definitely recommend them!
