Neuropathy feet combined with diabetes. Very comfortable
Great color. Very smart for casual dress!
I have a terrible time finding shoes that feel good on my feet.I can’t even remember how many times I’ve had to return shoes because they hurt my feet. These shoes however check all the boxes for a comfortable fit. The fact that they look really nice is such a bonus. Highly recommended.
