The elastic around the edges keeps them securely in place, making them very easy to walk in. Since they have no heel, they're perfect for days when you'll be doing a lot of walking. They're cute whether you pair them with a dress or with casual clothes like a t-shirt and denim pants. I think I bought them at Ron Herman.
