I purchased this shoe as a comfortable work shoe based on recommendations from others. It is very comfortable, stylish, and works well with my orthotics. The sole is not ideal for my job as I work on concrete floors that get dusty and I found myself slipping occasionally, so I limit them for work use. When the sole began to separate from the upper on my right shoe, I contacted Velous customer service and they sent a replacement immediately! Very unexpected and very appreciated. I definitely recommend this shoe for comfort and style and the company for their standing by their product.
