I work in the medical field, so that is why I bought these shoes. They seemed very comfortable and seemed to be the right kind of show I would need. They fit true to size, The advertisement said they run big....they do not. For the most part they are comfortable. The only thing is that your toes hit the top of the shoe. I called and the woman said they are a low top and she suggested I wear thicker socks. She also said that they leather is one of the finest and will stretch. Sometimes it bothers me, but as I run around I forget that my toes are hitting. I plan on trying a thicker sock....
