Vionic Women's Aura Paisley Lace Up Sneakers - Orthotic Arch Support Casual Shoes with Three-Zone Comfort Technology | Perfect for Walking, Work & Everyday Wear (Medium Fit)

I bought these sneakers for a trip to Spain, where I would do a great deal of walking on cobbled streets and sidewalks and the women are fairly stylish. The white leather uppers are elevated by a touch of gold and you can up the influence of gold by changing the white laces to the gold laces, which are included in the the price. I wanted leather because it would be more useful in keeping my feet dry in wet weather, and I am glad I made this choice. It did rain while I was exploring and my feet did stay dry.The comfort of these shoes does not come from a super squishy insole. You will be disappointed if that is what you are looking for. The insole is actually very firm, and when I received the shoes I was skeptical that they would be comfortable. After wearing them for a day as I taught my intermediate school classes, I was surprised - and sold. At the end of the day my feet felt great, and no breaking in was necessary!In Spain, they received even more wear and I was equally happy. I walked miles in these shoes on rough sidewalks and pathways, up and down steep inclines. I never felt like I wanted to stop because my feet hurt. If you want stylish shoes that will be comfortable for your feet, give these a try.
