I had some sandals, once, that I bought to wear with very casual shorts. They were ok with good arch support, but not so great that I went out and got more. In terms of looks, sort of like slightly dressier Birks, but the styles--and the purple butterfly logo on the sole--look pretty young to me, certainly not my first choice for work, assuming my feet gave me other options. My understanding is that the foot bed comes out of most if not all styles, and can accommodate a prescription or custom orthotic, if that is important to you
