I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law who is a professional chef. He was very pleased with it and considers it a superior product. He has another Shun Premier knife, a chef's knife.

I first tried these on in DSW, but they didn't have my size. Then, the only place I could find them was Zappos but they were out of size 8 and they are true to size. Finally got a pair in so I grabbed them. They are very comfortable and cute and with the criss-cross in front a little different from the normal ballet flats. They have a little cushion but very little support but despite this they are still comfortable to wear all day. However, if you are walking all day I did feel a tinge in my arch so I wouldn't use them as walking shoes. Also note, they are not leather, but I think they will wear just find especially if misting and you don't want to ruin your leather shoes. I've gotten many compliments.

Love them. Could have ordered 1/2 size larger, but love them and get tons of compliments.
