These are super comfortable, easy to wear casual shoes that can be worn every day for business travel, etc. Shoes are all leather with a man-made sole that has rubber inserts and rubber on the heel which is a half inch stacked heel. Inside the shoe there’s nice cushioning and the insole measures 9.75 inches from the front to the back with the width being medium. These shoes are interesting as they have a soft heel so they are super comfortable, and the heel could actually be folded down and you could have like a mule effect.
