text: These are comfortable right out of the box.  I gave only 4 stars because I actually have 2 pairs of these:  in black and tan and the fit is somewhat different between the 2 pairs:  same size but black fit snugger.  The shoes give excellent support to the foot,  the heel height is comfortable for all-day wear, and the foot bed is cushiony. These look good with skirts, dress slacks or jeans.  Worth the price.
