User Reviews
I bought the purple ones, and I love the purple, grey and black combo. They are attractive for athletic shoes! The profile of them is a lot less bulky than most tennies…but they fit great! They just have an overall less-bulky look, which will make them easier to pair with non-athletic clothing. The toe is very slightly pointed, which adds to the smaller, more feminine profile. Super comfy, well made, and I love the purple. I didn’t want to spend as much as I did…I wanted to keep my purchase under $50, but at least I feel these were worth the cost. I bought them specifically for a trip that will include a lot of slow paced, in-town paved/sidewalk shopping (think Santa Fe), and I think they’ll be great for that purpose.
I like the color and style. These are a bit snug at first but I put them on for about an hour, walked around in doors and they loosened up. I love the fit. Med 9.
I love those shoes,they does wear comfortable,and the foot insoles to me like walking on cloudsThis shoes which from easy Spirit and the name fit the purpose of their shoesI order 10 wide,but every part of wear great except the side near the toes of both shoes,Other than that,I love my shoes..I was trying to find the same shoes to rebuy,but I needed 10ext.wide, I going to search again for the same shoes,but xwide,.👍🏾😁
Little tight in toe box. Very cute.
These shoes seem to be good enough value for the money, but I was disappointed that the women's size 7.5M was so narrow in the toe. I've never had this problem with other Easy Spirit shoes. I returned them right away because walking around on the carpet to try them was very uncomfortable. My toes were kind of pinched together and the right shoe especially rubbed against my little toe. Support was so-so. The stitching was good and I they are a nice color so it's too bad they fit so poorly. 7.5M is my normal size.
Liked the style and fit. Ordered a different pair of easy spirit in a 7, but had to return and order these in a 7 and a half. Return was super easy. Shoes arrived in good condition.
These are so comfortable. I bought them to wear for a Renaissance faire so that I can walk around a lot and I hid well under my dress which was the same color. Think that they're even more comfortable or at least as comfortable as my new balance that I by and wear religiously for years. I'm definitely going to buy more of this shoe in different colors.
Too narrow, I ordered wide because I have foot swelling toward the middle of my work shifts at a hospital, but I wore these without my feet even having any swelling and they were tight! They’re at least holding up for my child with narrow feet, so there’s that, but not a good investment in my foot health
