STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I'm a college student, work in a library and do a lot of walking. I need good sturdy walking shoes that are comfortable.

I'm usually a jeans/khakis and sweater kind of girl but I have a unique style I thnk. I like to dress things up a little and usually like sneakers and a hoodie.

Question: I need good functional shoes that I can dress up or down with jeans. I've always been leary of the moc. wedges, but I'm willing to try them. I thought maybe wedges would be a good way to dress up my jeans and sweaters, etc.

I noticed these are on sale from UO, but I'm also looking for other suggestions.

Are these comfortable? What kind of outfits have you all paired these with?
