I bought these shoes before a trip to the UK and they were extremely comfortable. My feet did not sweat in them or ache once (the insole is a dream). They are perfect to wear with just about everything!

One of my issues with shoes in this style is the toes are always so wide and chunky looking. That is not the case with the Ahnu Benecia, they have a nice shape that looks cute with a skirt or jeans.
