Exploring my feet carefully, I noticed how lightweight they are. Then I remark that they were perfect for my professional environment, nobody will ever notice them. I work in an Italian financial institution and Style, with a big S, matters with Italians, trust me. My wife told me, "They are really nice and perfect." I totally agree with her...I mean these shoes are great, I love them and I have already had several compliments about them (from people who don't know anything about barefoot, so true aesthetic compliments).
