Macchiato leather: a soft milky beige with a little coffee warmth in it, cut clean and quiet, with a high vamp and a soft square toe. A flat this plain is usually just as empty. This one isn't. A hidden heel raise keeps you off zero, and the podiatrist-designed Sole Hero® footbed carries support and cushioning from heel to toe. Then the fit: a heel counter balanced firm but never hard, adjustable forefoot fitting, and recycled foam lining where rubbing tends to start. Quiet on the surface. Working hard underneath.
