User Reviews
These shoes fit true to size and are very comfortable. Wore them for a wedding after receiving them. Feet never hurt during the evening and we did a lot of dancing. Many shoes cause the ball of my foot or toes to hurt but these did not. Appreciate the sling back style to comfortably adjust the strap for the length of each of my feet.
maybe its because I rarely wear dress shoes but the 10 was too tight. luckily these come in 10 & half.those were ok for a few hours at a wedding. very pretty and worth the money. my ratings reflect my rarely wearing dress shoes.
These shoes are very stylish and comfortable especially for those who no longer can or want to wear stilettos. Unfortunately for me, the shoes did not fit well. My right foot is a bit longer than my left foot but I have not had problems in the past with other shoes. I may try another pair to see if the problem is in the shoe vs my foot. The Dea slingbacks are really a nice pair of shoes.
I have been buying expensive "comfort" black dress shoes for years. I am a wedding photographer and have to be on my feet for 8-10 hours in a professional looking dress shoe. I walk, dart, hunch, squat, and stand - a lot. The process of shoe hunting/trying has been the most miserable part of my job! I have tried so many brands that claim to be good for being on your feet (naturalizer, clarks etc) but always end up with blisters or extremely sore feet, not to mention the wasted money. I have wasted SO much money on shoes and spent even MORE on routine pedicures or reflexology to deal with the weekly soreness. I ordered these shoes and wore them to my 9 hour wedding this past Saturday and OH. MY. GOD. Finally!!!! I don't know if it's because of the sling back style (I have been wearing closed toe and heel) or the little flex dart in the front center of the shoe that lets it move with you to prevent rubbing, but I didn't have a single issue ALL DAY LONG. I'm usually limping to my camera bag during the reception to grab blister bandaids.I have FINALLY found a comfortable work shoe. It also doesnt look bad. It's not what I'd wear to go out in, but they don't look too grandma-ish for work. I am going to order a second pair just in case these disappear when I need to replace them this fall. (I go through work shoes like crazy.)If you have to be on your feet all day, but maintain a professional appearance, try these. I hope they work for everyone the way they worked for me!
Really like the style and very comfortable and feminine. I get lots of compliments on these. Fits true to suE
I wear a size 11 medium to wide, depending on the shoe, have narrow heels and bunions that make shoe shopping a challenge - particularly with dress shoes. I ordered an 11w and was hopeful it was going to fit. The reviews sounded promising, and I wanted to like this shoe, it is really classy for a low heeled slingback, but as soon as I tried them on, my toes were squeezed. No arch support either, so I returned them.
Since it's hard for me to find nice looking leather shoes in a wide size, I selected these. I had to send the first pair back because the foot-bed lining did not reach the toe on one shoe. However, it's not the problem but how's it's handled, and Amazon was great. My second pair is perfect. I have not worn them any period of time, but only tried them on for fit at the end of the day when my feet are wider. They are very comfortable and I believe will be when worn for hours.
I actually ordered a half size larger than usual because I have developed painful bunions and cannot have any shoe snug in those areas. This arrangement works out beautifully. I love these shoes because they check the boxes of not fitting tight, being dressy because of the slingback & a heel height that I can handle with all my foot problems. Thank you Amazon...again!!
