These shoes (blue color) are very cute and are comfortable so far since I’ve received them. I can see myself wearing them for strength training and walking, when out and about casually and even wearing them to work. I’m not sure if you’re meant to do this, but I like that I can put them on without re-tying the laces. Big plus for me. I also love that this brand is environmentally conscious. Only docked one star because they run about a half size too small, so I would recommend ordering a half size up.
