If you plan on being on your feet for extended periods of time, these are a great choice.
This style does not come in half sizes, so we recommend rounding up to your nearest whole size.
Looks can be deceiving, especially since these look like a pair of laced sneakers but are actuallyslip-on sneakers.
Theyre easy to slip on and feel comfortable right away, with no need for a break-in period.

The breathable fabric keeps feet cool, and they have great arch support with built-in grooves in the insole.
The style is also versatile enough for both office and casual wear.
