This is my second pair of these shoes and I have about a year off my last pair. They literally seem like good socks with soles and I go out of the house to put them on quickly - taking my son to school etc. All black they go with almost everything and look sportier (to me) than some other colors . DO NOT buy these as serious athletic shoes - they are literally perfect for athletic wear. I love her for that. I'm the right size, I have 11D.
