I own three pair and they are wonderful. I have a wide foot and wear orthotics. I needed a shoe to wear with suits and when I go to court. I have had a lot of compliments on the metallic shoes. It would be nice if they would make the shoes all 1 color. Say, brown leather on the entire shoe. I like the tie because it keeps the shoe snugly on my heel. I liked them so much I sent a pair to my mother this week. I have six pairs of Munro's and I like these the best. I've actually told a number of my friends about them.
