Can use dressing up or down, they can do multi-duty...

I needed great shoes that would not fall off my feet as during the day when I sit or stand - edema on some days collects and should not be compressed or can be a problem - but still these have to look good and be comfortable - the ugly practical shoe with velcro expansive shuffle along nursing home looking shoe - just is not the look I desire. I plan to get the gray too - maybe the black leather not suede (more of a summer very useful goes with everything skirts and pants and even as a sandal) - really great find. They did not need to spend so much on the shoe box - which was very attractive in design and had a magnetic type of closure - I thought about using that as a recipe box - but the box was damaged when it arrived (the shoes I think had been worn but not damaged and worn only gently) - and I technically was supposed to get a 38 but the 39 was what fit (maybe that is best if you have edema problems - because my feet probably do change a full size over a day) - worked better than some other shoes that were supposed to walk with me and adjust over a day - which fell off my foot at bad times and thus - did not walk with me.

Had the black leather ones a year ago. Wore them so much, including for walking long distances, I wore them out. Just had to have another pair. Theyre so cute AND comfortable!

Love these shoes! They are very comfortable.

nice shoe, could not keep it , did not fit
