The Comfort Street style of Active Walkers shoes is unique. The rear part of the shoe is made of genuine leather and the forepart is made with soft stretchable Lycra® to gently caress the foot with every step. Lycra® is cooling, durable, washable and comfortable. Those with conditions such as hammer toes, bunions, arthritis, swelling, and hypersensitivity will greatly appreciate the comfortable, accommodating properties of Lycra® and the sophistication of this modern design. Easy street shoes integrate the science of walking with modern design, bridging a long-standing gap between functional fit and style. For the activities of busy life, greater comfort cannot be found. All Comfort Street shoes now come with a spacious toe box. Machine washable.
