I just bought these shoes in the orange color, and they looked intimidating before I put them on. But once I did, I didn't want to take them off! Its hard to believe that a shoe can look this good and be this comfortable. I wore them for 9+ hours today at work and my feet never hurt once. They don't pinch or rub. The heel appears to be really high (which it is), but feels almost like flats when they are one. This is a great product.
