Soft leather flats with elastic top line for additional comfort and perfect fit. Podiatrist designed foot bed for extra comfort and support. There is a deep heel cup, foot cushioning and ultimate arch support midsole. I have only worn them handful of times. There is no wear or stains or spots. The shoe is a classic and timeless flat. It is made for comfort but look very fashionable to be able to dress up or dress casual with the upmost comfort. The in sole is easily removeable for you to wear as inserts for other shoes. The shoe is a perfect and a staple for any Vionic fan.
