I enjoy walking 2 miles everyday at lunchtime at work with my colleague, and I thought these shoes would be great for that purpose because they're cute, stylish, AND functional. Before that, I'd put on my old running shoes just for the lunch walk. I thought I could save maybe 5 minutes by not having to switch to another pair.
Well, it turns out that as cute and comfortable as these shoes are, they're not really made for walking. Walking around work and going shopping in them was fine, but walking just 2 miles in them ended up hurting my feet because of the lack of arch support.
I still wear these cute shoes to work, but I now change into my running shoes for the lunch walk. Not everyone may have the same problem, but I have neutral feet and a normal arch, and it still hurt me, so I thought I'd put in my $0.02.

I ride my bike to work, and my backpack was overstuffed with work clothes plus a lunch AND shoes, so I really needed shoes that could do double duty. I have been very pleased overall with my Sketchers Luxe Mary Janes. They are sturdy enough to wear while riding a bike (and I go up and down hills and ride on busy streets), are comfortable without socks (even while riding the bike), and look FABULOUS when I get to work with my casual dresses and pants. The sole on the bottom of the shoe provides a lot of support. I have had to wear arch supports before, but I have not had to wear them in these shoes. I am on my feet all day as a teacher, but have not had any soreness. However, another reviewer said that they were not strong enough for a 2-mile walk, and I would have to agree with that. As comfortable as these shoes are, they are not really meant for pounding the pavement to that extent. I have had only one problem with the shoes: the right strap does not always stay closed. On that foot, the strap fits more snugly, and so if I should need to stand tip-toe or otherwise point my foot, the velcro doesn't hold fast. The left shoe does not have any problems, though. While it is probably just my own foot that is the problem, I wanted to warn shoppers that they may have this problem, too. Even so, I could easily buy more of these in different colors. I have had so many compliments on them, they are versatile and comfortable- these are a winner all around.

I love these shoes. I get complements on them ALL THE TIME!! Now most of my friends own a pair after seeing mine. They are wonderful for walking around the mall, or spending the day at the Zoo, or working long shifts standing up , but they are not a replacment for regular tennis shoes when it comes to exercising. I love them though!!

Unlike other reviewers, I have not had problems walking long distances in these shoes - I call them my "walking to work shoes" and regularly walk 45 mins/over 2 miles in them at a time, no problem. I have noticed, however, both that the velcro straps wear out before the shoe does, and that over time the lace/mesh around the toe wears through. For a while I was able to sew it shut (not terribly noticeable in black shoes) but eventually I had to replace the shoe. I tried buying what looked like the same shoe in leather, not mesh, but it did not fit well.

Otherwise, it's a wonderful shoe. No one can tell it's really a sneaker. I wear it with pant suits if I'm not in court or seeing clients, and since I recently broke a bone in my foot, it's actually the only shoe I can wear comfortably. It doesn't look professional with a skirt suit, but to avoid the 80s look when walking to work, it sure beats a skirt and white sneakers.

I would say for me the shoe lasts about 5-6 months with extensive walking, or 8-9 months with less walking. So at $54/pair it's not cheap, but it's about the same cost as replacing sneakers, more stylish than sneakers, and much more comfortable than pumps.

I bought these based on the previous reviews. I wore them the very first day I received them for about 4 hours of casual walking (around the Smithsonian in Washington, DC). Can't say that this was my wisest decision as I did get some slight blisters in the back. They really do take some time to get soften up but the end result is great. I have the natural colour with the embroidery flowers and they are so versatile, I wear them with everything. They were exactly what I was looking for in a great summer fun shoe!

Super comfortable and easy to slip on and off. As stated in my heading the only thing they lack is a little bit of arch support. For that amount of money I would think providing this should not be too much to ask. Don't buy them for extensive walking. Use them for running errands, and work if your dress code allows it. They are very attractive.

I wish I had known this shoe was a wide as I would have ordered a half-size smaller...

I bought these shoes this week. I shattered my ankle last fall and have had trouble finding shoes that will allow for swelling and stilll look like something you would wear to work... These shoes are cute, comfortable and adjustable for the swelling. I have had some trouble with rubbing on the heel. Would recommend them.

I just got my pair in the mail yesterday. I was a little nervous about ordering them, honestly. But I was looking for a pair of shoes that would be comfortable to do a lot of walking in, that didn't require wearing socks, and that would be stylish. I think I found the perfect pair.

First of all, these shoes are extremely cute. The details of the mesh/lace don't show up in the pictures, but the design is actually flowers. They are both sporty and classy and great for wearing to work. Today is my first day wearing them and they are surprisingly comfortable. The only issue is that the backs are rubbing on my heel, but I'm sure that's an issue of needing to break them in.

I'm happy with this purchase. I previously purchased Skechers women's Mary Jane from endless.com. But the size was too narrow for my feet. This pair fit me well. I walk a lot and need some ventilation in summer. These shoes are good for walking in summer.
