I've been searching for quite a while for a style of shoe that would compliment my work wardrobe. I was thrilled when I located this shoe, but I'm disappointed that my foot slips out of the heel area. The narrow width feels more like a medium width.

This is the best shoe! I have bought a new pair of these shoes every year for about 10 years. They never go out of style and I wear them almost every day to work. The heal is low and the shoe is very comfortable, especially since I have to walk about 2 blocks from the parking structure to the office. I highly recommend these shoes. They are stiff when you first get them, but they break in pretty quickly.

Great shoe, I wear it to the office almost everyday, they were a bit stiff the first day but, by the next wear everything was ok. The cushiony sole is fantastic, makes a 10hr work day more relaxing. No blisters, no slips or falls, they look great for office attire and also work well jeans and a polo neck for a more casual grown up look for "business casual-fridays".

I have owned 5 generations of these shoes, in all colors except the black patent. This is my basic, everyday shoe with jeans or slacks. I have narrow feet and, even in the narrow, they are a bit too wide. A foam insole solves the problem for me. I will continue to purchase and wear them for as long as the shoes are made.

I work for an airline and am on my feet ALOT. These shoes are worth every penny and then some. They hold up very well, with a firm but cushiony sole that absorbs a lot of pounding. They are classy and provide enough room around toes that won't cause any pinching. I've been buying them for years and only hope they never ever discontinue this make.

This shoe has a simple clean look that works with Jeans or also with business wear. With arthritic feet, is hard to find a good sturdy shoe with a lot of support that you can wear all day and still look stylish. This shoe fits the bill. I walk around in them all day. Other than my sneakers, these shoes keep me pain free. I have multiple pairs in
different colors and would buy another pair when these wear out.
